| Lady Liberty | 
|
| Our Lady of perpetual light
By thy right arm is strength and might
Crowned with glorious stars on high
With freedom's torch raised to the sky
Bejeweled wonder to behold
Aglow with heaven's rays of gold
Bedecked in truth and dignity
With heart toward humanity
In thy left hand a parchment scroll
Inscribed in Roman numerals bold
The date of timelessness revered
Of independence held most dear
Smile bright, Our Lady, whom we hail
On veterans who've served thee well
Grace souls who've shed their lives at home
And those who've died on fields alone
Uphold thy daughters and thy sons
Who man the forts and carry guns
Help men left wounded, halt and maimed
Bless those kept safe; preserve each name
With justice now for one and all
Renewed in vision to stand tall
Proclaim this day their jubilee
And mark a place right next to thee! | By Susan Crowe
