Standing
quietly in a crowd
Brimming with anticipation,
Humbled by the celebration
Soon to amble into view.
Politicians press the flesh
Or wave as they go rolling by.
Part-time soldiers stepping high
To carry the red white and blue.
Suddenly the calm erupts
As sirens blast and engines roar,
Banners wave and streamers soar
While drums and bugles fill the air.
Flowered floats go sailing past with
Girls in flighty, frilly fare,
Jugglers juggle by the pair and
Happy thoughts race everywhere.
Joy is beamed across the sky.
Another parade is passing by.
