The Lady, Miss Liberty  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 I hate to see her just crumbling into dust She is a symbol to those who land upon these shores Just a symbol of freedom, on no, so much more. Her light has always shown over this land always standing proud to lend a guiding hand. Throughout the days of many passing years she has soothed away the travelers fears as she has extended her hand 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 Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. {on the wings of words are spirits fly...and our souls are free~me} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (07-04-2002 10:24 AM).] |

Sunshine, the restoration work on her was done I believe in 1986 also, which is why I wrote this at the time. This piece has been buried, and I thought it an appropriate time to revisit her .......again. Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

I remember well when she was restored and what a huge undertaking it was. You've brought back some nice memories and yes, we often do take our freedom for granted. Thank you for this.  *hugs* my friend!Michael |
