Lady of the Harbor

Terry L. Young

You've seen
so much,
Dear lady,
Standing alone
In the harbor.
Never blinking,
Shedding a tear,
Or turning away
In sorrow,
Tho' it must have
Been more
Than you Could bear
The smoke,
The fire,
The cries and last
Gasps of Your
Dying children,
But we need
You now,
More than ever.
