Quickie Challenge- Independence!

Hey guys! I know we have my Summer contest going on that 10 of you are in but for those who didn't join that (or even those that did), I'm posting a quickie challenge. Tomorrow is 4th of July (Independence Day) for Americans...we celebrate the freedom and founding of our nation....

The theme of this challenge isnt going to be about the holiday, seeings how we have members from all over.

However, your poem will be about Independence...any way you wish to use it.

Included in your poem must be:
-The reference of some kind of independence
-a birth stone (ruby, sapphire, pearl, etc)
-something of value (think antiques, biblical days of frankencense and myrrh, etc...be creative)
-something that lights up (fireworks, flashlights, lightnening bugs, candles, sunshine, etc)
-3 synonyms or antonym words of freedom (or 2 synonyms and 1 antonym or vice versa)

Have fun and good luck to those of you who wish to partake in this :)

Poems due Saturday afternoon. PM them to me and I can post them for voting on Saturday night :)
