Son steps out the door

Private talk with chum

Hear bazooka roar

Heart beats like a drum

Dash into the dark

Scream at son "Come in"

Frowns at frantic bark

Points at sky and grins

Sparks rain down from sky

Flash and boom repeat

Watch white sparkles fly

Feel heart's manic beat

Firework display

First year for town's show

Glitter light at play

Wait for heart to slow

No bazooka sound

Glad there is no gun

Watch loud rocket rounds

Fear melts into fun
