    AMERICA
    I came with hope to America
    Because I heard that here…our dreams may become true
    But in reality… I just escaped
    … Running away from loneliness,
    Leaving behind my grieve, hiding to myself the truth

    When I arrived to America
    I saw a doorway opened to relieve my wounds and pains
    At the front… a huge sculpture
    Showing peaceful understanding … it was the warrior of freedom
    …proud symbol of Liberty in all American hearts

    As I settled in America
    I looked to myself for answers …very deep inside my soul
    A piece of Art… touched my senses
    Carved in stone were engraved, the heads of four chosen leaders
    One hundred and fifty years… recorded up in the mountains…
    …Pillars of Values and Virtues of this treasured land

    Now I live in America
    And though I know the old memories will be sometimes in my life
    I found hope… and a new culture…
    I found my home …my horizon
    No more grieve… nor wounds… nor pain

    Welcome to a world of wonders and a world of deceptions. Learning which is which and how to cope with each are gonna be your real tests of finding happiness in this new home. But, we're glad you're here. Nice write.

    Yes, my parents and grandparents came to America too and found a haven where one is not arrested for their beliefs. And, I am sure your words can be applied to the lives they found here. Of course, a belated welcome to America in case this poem was written for you.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
