The City Opens Its Arms
As we walk outside the
city opens its' arms to us
A friendly crossing guard
signals to cross the
intersection safely
At the bus stop a woman
holds her son's hand
As I walk towards work
I notice the warmth of the air
Spring has finally arrived in the
city!
Scores of students
walk towards the community college
where I work
After stopping off for a scone
and some green tea
I work with students
on their English grammar
and summarizing
All around me are those
who want to learn and improve their lives
The city has opened its' arms
to these new immigrants
who are hardworking
and an asset to our land
