Fireworks

Tonight, as I was sitting down trying to think of what to do I felt a big explosion, and then another, and then many all at the same time. I ran outside to see what it was and my jaw dropped open because the sky was lit with beautiful colors.

Fireworks!

I biked down close to the beach and watched many beautiful fireworks being launched from Coconut Island. I had a perfect view of the display and as it went on, I couldn’t help but smile. I thought of many good memories, and I hoped for many more in the future. Living in America I know I have the opportunity, and I feel blessed because of that. My country has been guilty of bad things in the past, but I can always know we are collectively striving to become better, greater. Our openness and freedom of speech will protect us from terrible corruption, and will help keep tomorrow bright.
