America

I came with hope to America

Because I heard that here...our dreams may become true.

But in reality... I just escaped  

Running   away from loneliness,

Leaving behind my grief,

hiding to myself the truth.

 

When I arrived to America

I saw a doorway opened to relieve my wounds and pains.

At the front... a huge sculpture

Showing peaceful understanding,

it was the warrior of freedom

proud symbol of Liberty in all American hearts.

 

As I settled in America

I looked to myself for answers...very deep inside my soul

A piece of Art, touched my senses:

Carved in stone were engraved,  

the heads of four chosen leaders

One hundred and  fifty years,

recorded up in the mountains...

...Pillars of Values and Virtues

of this treasured land.

 

Now I live in America

And though I know the old memories will be sometimes in my life

I found hope... and a new culture...

I found my home ...my new country

A new life in my horizon

No more grieve ... nor wounds... nor pain
