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.
