Freedom is a thing we take for granted every day
look at what we have compared to those not in the USA.
The lady stands on a throne built of friendship and of trust.
Showing her honor, simply is a must.

She is a symbol to those who land upon these shores
A mere symbol of freedom? Oh no, so much more.
Her light has always shown over this land
she, stands proudly lending guiding hand.

Throughout the days of many passing years
she has soothed away the travelers fears
she has extended her arms with joy
welcoming every parent, girl and boy.

Yes, there is such a lovely lady
one who shines forever upon you and me
and if you have forgotten her name
please remember it is MISS LIBERTY


revised from 05-13-1986

A safe and happy holiday to all!


Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it...Santana

I'll never forget Miss Liberty, i visited her in 89, and standing on the ferry, moving closer to her was just awesome.

Beautiful Bella both you and her

Even though there has been a falling out,
history shows united forces and rebel's shout,
Miss Liberty still stands for all to know,
better things can happen, it is so...

brotherly love can be a remedy...
if some will admit to humility...
and strength can come from locking arms...
by working together to rid those who'd harm...

You got my muse working again, little one!
