I Am: Lady Liberty

I am freedom and equality

I hear the cries of the oppressed

I see the anxious faces of those waiting for their fate to be decided

I am the “American Dream”

I feel the ocean waves as they crash against my bronze feet, so firmly planted atop the foundation of Liberty.

I touch the hearts of those longing for a better world

I pray for the mothers and the children

I cry for those turned away, and those lost at sea

I am Justice

I understand every spoken cry and perceive each unspoken word

I dream of a better world with Liberty and Justice for all in every nation on the Earth

I am Lady Liberty
