Copper Go Green " Liberty Queen "

Liberty island stands the presence of she This green goddess A gift, to an amazing country Presented from France in 1886 In New York harbour Where she graciously sits Her body of, pure copper sheeting When you arrived by ship Your first American greeting America, this greatest of Nation The more i think, gives me warm sensation This indigenous land, modern and free The lady with the torch Statue Of Liberty

"She" has been graciously sitting on her tiny island welcoming immigrants for many years. Your poem reminds all of us who live in freedom how blessed we are, James. Children need to remember, too, so every Halloween I dress in my Statue of Liberty costume, complete with torch, and greet them with a proud smile. You, too, are blessed to live in a free and beautiful country, James. The hills of the UK are beckoning! Love, Carolyn
