The Statue of Liberty
Poem Based on an Image!
As I bask in the afterglow
Of this Fourth of July day
I see a lady standing alone
Beckoning all to come her way!
She stands for our freedom
She offers them dreams
To the survivors and refugees
Of suppressive regimes!
Yet so many haters
Come here to this land
To abuse our privileges
As they make their grand stand!
The lady in the harbor
Has welcomed them all
With stories of hardships
Some found a windfall!
So our hats are off
To this lady in the bay
Who stands for our independence
Each and every day!
