Bastille Day July 14

Bastille Day started in 1789
When the French citizens proclaimed it was time
They stormed the prison at the center of Paris
And in battle, over took the monarch's fortress

The tyranny of Louis the sixteenth was ended
Such that, this day of revolution, we have befriended
Thus it has become a representation of freedom
A foundation for the restoration of our Father's kingdom

As from America came the framing of the Constitution
It helped in part change the country that aided their revolution
Imagine George Washington with his troupes in a quest to not quit
Make a last bold move then to see behind him a fleet of French ships!

Our thanks to France who came with sacrifice
As their country had little to cover the price
And as a symbol of their love and friendship
They sent Lady Liberty upon a long trip

Let us always remember history
And acclaim good works shining of glory
And thank the unfavored Marie Antoinette
Who with the founders we should not forget

For thus she was baptized by living for the dead
On a day at the temple that was spiritually led
May she be acclaimed and her faults overlooked
As her life was taken for the depression that hit pocket books


please help me polish this poem
and site the last part
about Marie being baptized
