FREEDOM

Crammed in a Makeshift Vessel they embarked out to sea Seeking the air of freedom to be like you and me One mother held her child as the raindrops hid her tears The father held the mother's hand giving him Strength to conquer his fears Besides them were other strangers who nourished the same request Arrive safely on America's shores the country they flavored best The scent of the ocean as they passed creatures of the sea The Sharks, the crustaceans, and other ocean mysteries The peace of a better life they yearn to taste To breathe the fragrance of freedom the fears erased The aroma of liberty the flavor so sweet Despite the unknown endeavours they were soon to meet The adversity of the weather dictated an unforeseen course The journey to heaven was not their giving choice The vision they dreamed of savoring The dream they dared to pursue They are not inhaling the breath of freedom The freedom as me and you
