Not many of us think... Or have time to, I guess... Bout how our forefathers got here-- "I" must confess that I never Gave it much thought... Never mindful a stir Just how heinous they were!!! And how hard, OH SO HARD To be on those boats! Coming to America with nothing But hope... Those "coffin boats" left a trail Of bodies while they sailed A grave-yard of mothers, fathers And sons... But soon enough, life-anew Would be begun... Here in this great nation.... Hope, liberty, manifest destiny... FOR EVERYONE!!!!Birth sign: Pisces
