I could see blue skies above her sailing
Her perilous journey to that glory
She kept her smile even in her failings
A lady fighting for a cause worthy
Those wise, who follow her, surely know
She is in thruth, an American dream
In the hearts of all who remember
Liberty for all and all for liberty
If her light burns in the hearts of all
It is not for nigh
Those who follow her,surely know
In the grand scheme of things
For children of our tomorrows
She kept her smile even in her failings
A lady fighting for a cause worthy
I could see blue skies above her sailing

I find this piece real in essence of it's message.And sensitive in spirit knowing things of tangible merit are important to us all. Hope that made sense.You've related exquisitly in verse to a plight of an indivigual in efforts to better or even sustain standards that improve lifestyle.It's what I think about in viewing France's gift to the US of Lady Liberty.Is that who this lady represents? Maybe not. But if this piece never has another line added or edited,it's a wonder! I truely enjoyed reading it!

"She has a ream" - of paper? Or are you using it as meaning "a lot"? I like everything else, just not sure on that word or its usage. Good flow and rhyme!
