Hold the moment gently Embrace its fleeting flow Ticktock, Ticktock
She still tries to Fly
Ideals for which so many have died
We are much better than things seem today
Let’s come together
And create a new way
I came on a ship One of the last To have lived the American dream Saddened now Headlines of demise Sullen swollen eyes As children scream No longer an American dream
He carried a toolbox
Leaving the ship
Carpenter
Tradesman
Irish brogue
Hardened hands
Big Heart
My Father
Opportunity in America
Welcoming Union
One job then the next
Day after Day
Building a life, a foundation
Soon another ship
My Mother and I arrive
A new land
He toiled
Building homes
Providing shelter
Paving the way to University
A better life for a son
I’ve been blessed
67 years later
I am the American dream
But today as I survey the scene
DACA denied
Immigrants denied
History denied

America Afraid

The Golden Rule
Rise up we must
Brothers all
To win the fight
I am an immigran
