We all saw and felt it..
the giant tear
that fell from
the eye of
The Statue of Liberty
that fateful September day.

But I looked around
and saw thousands
standing in line
willing to wipe away that tear.

And day by day,
thousands have written words
that have wiped the tears away
from the Lady in the harbor.

And our Lady Liberty
remains standing tall
for all to see,
encouraging us to exercise
our rights to be
what we choose to be.

Happy Fourth of July to everyone.

****

May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

Well done!!! Superb!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

such a perfect poem...

"in a past life i was a woodcarver's knife: the sharpend blade of a wood cutter, the eldest son of the chief's brother: a maker of drums"
