Immigrants

As a girl, I went to Public School

That is where I learned the “Golden Rule”.

School, community, home all taught the same

And I learned “Democracy” was the name.

By which my country lived and thrived

A place where hopeful immigrants arrived

They worked hard to raise their families

Survived many heart breaks and realities.

They loved America “Land of the Free”

This is our heritage, “How Proud Are We.”
