The Statue of Liberty

How lovely she stands on 
Ellis Island in New York City
Raised is her torch to inspire 
Freedom and liberty
Given to the U.S by France
Hoping for a chance
Because of the American Revolution
For friendship was the resolution
In recognition we all be one
Ever get a chance to take a trip
Go see this wonderful statue that represents
Freedom democracy and international friendship


was born and raised in NY left to a small town
will rewrite this to enter contest I LOVE AND MISS NY
