Lady Liberty
Lady Liberty
On the threshold of Lady Liberty
Ellis Island waits for a rebirth of America
With the patience of a Polish immigrant
Who found sea legs he called freedom shoes
That made the ship a road across the ocean
He walked daily from bow to stern
To keep in shape for the job he lined up
Of delivering all the news that was fit to print
But he had heard that boats were turned back
From what once was a harbor
But his movable highway
Is a rainbow path
On the threshold of Lady Liberty
Ellis Island waits for a rebirth of America
With the patience of a Polish immigrant
Who found sea legs he called freedom shoes
That made the ship a road across the ocean
He walked daily from bow to stern
To keep in shape for the job he lined up
Of delivering all the news that was fit to print
But he had heard that boats were turned back
From what once was a harbor
But his movable highway
Is a rainbow path

Nice subject matter. Wonderfully rendered. You have a keen ability to really embody your subjects.

Thanks so much, Cipher_O. Very glad my characterization made the protagonist clear in this poem my friend.
