• Our lives are broken into years, and our years divided by those special days the world has created to share with others. Christmas, birthdays, Independence Day, graduations, Halloween, anniversaries, Easter, Labor Day, Memorial Day - these are just a very few of those special days that are special because they are shared with those we love. Independence Day is a time to remember our pasts, as well as our hopes for the future. For Christmas or Easter, this poem is a great Holiday stress reducer. To keep our minds focused on the real meaning of the season brings peace.
