IMG_0909 Only the Statue of Liberty Wears a Crown

In the harbor where hopes gently swell,
Stands a figure, with a story to tell,
A lady of freedom, so noble and grand,
With a crown on her head, she watches the land.

Only the Statue of Liberty wears a crown,
Her light shining brightly, never to drown,
A beacon for all who yearn to be free,
A symbol of promise for you and for me.

While POTUS may lead with his vision and might,
It’s the statue that glimmers, that soars in the night,
For she stands for a spirit that cannot be bound,
In every heart whisper, her power resounds.

Her torch held high, a path to embrace,
Inviting the world to a warm, tender place,
With open arms wide and a welcoming grace,
She shines through the ages, our hopes to efface.

So let history witness whose crown truly reigns,
In the land of the brave, where freedom remains,
Only the Statue of Liberty proudly can wear,
The symbol of justice, of peace, and of care.
