July 4, anytime in the seventies
Children looked forward to festivities
We gathered supplies
To the fascinated eyes
Of our three little celebrators.
I often think back how it was
Eager actions and thoughts
Lighting sparklers we bought
Excitement seeing brightness of the lot.

The last line brings to mind the naughty, greedy child who will set light to all the sparklers at once!
