I came with hope to America
Because I heard that here
…our dreams may become true
But in reality… I just escaped
… Running away from loneliness,
Leaving behind my grief,
hiding to myself the truth
When I arrived to America
I saw a doorway opened
to relieve my wounds and pains
At the front… a huge sculpture
Showing peaceful understanding
… it was the warrior of freedom
…proud symbol of Liberty in all American hearts
As I settled in America
I looked to myself for answers
…very deep inside my soul
A piece of Art… touched my senses
Carved in stone were engraved,
the heads of four chosen leaders
One hundred and fifty years
… recorded up in the mountains…
…Pillars of Values and Virtues of this treasured land
Now I live in America
And though I know the old memories
will be sometimes in my life
I found hope… and a new culture…
I found my home …my new country
A new life in my horizon
No more grief… nor wounds… nor pain
Happy 4th of July!
