Garden of Fire (Myrtle Beach Fourth of July)

July 4, 2024

BY Bo Bryan

Independence Day,

At Long Bay,

A garden of fire

Grows in the sky.

Gunpowder flowers

Bloom for hours.

Explosions of color,

Celebrate building

The home of the brave,

In the land of the free,

A garden of fire,

Gunpowder flowers

Blooming for hours.

Myrtle Beach,

Fourth of July!
