"Nothing of importance happened today."
Wrote the Regal King,
Yet across the ocean Liberty's Bell did ring.
The King's arrogant presumption,
Of life being in resumption.
It seems to me, that he might have established a common standard of existence.
Or maybe those words, it is fair to say, were only because of his natural distance.
Or maybe those words, it is fair to say, were only because of his natural distance.
Those words I hope will help you learn that something of importance happens every day.
Whether you learn of it now or a lifetime away.
Every day your life is shaped by thousands of people you will never meet.
The King never met his soldiers who died with the sound of his drum's beat.
Yet his life was changed forever on July 4th, 1776 and though I never met the rebel soldiers of long-ago,
They changed my life for the better and so my thanks on them
I bestow.
