Lady Liberty |
 |
|
I became a child of yours
so long ago.
... grew beneath the branches
of freedom's tree,
... ate of your fruit,
... and became a man.
A soldier to fight for you
so very far away.
It has been a love affair,
my Lady.
Me and you.
I age
... as
you remain
as beautiful as ever.
Forever Free!
Death will surely come
and take me away,
yet you will remain...
smiling upon the free,
... Always.
... and I know dear lady
that you will endure,
... will always smile.
I know that within your heart
you will always
... remember me. |
