                                                              the city
                                                        arms open wide
                                                     Christ the Redeemer
                                                        symbol of peace
                                                           causes hearts
                                                              to bow
                                                                low

I've always loved that statue. Christ looking over the city, arms raised in the sign of benediction. Wonderful to see your ninette win today, Wendy! Congratulations ~ John
