Inspirational Love Poem
~ A View From The Sun
by Stanley Owen
For a moment let's enter a fantasy land, and suppose
we can join the sun, on a
sight-seeing tour of part of this globe, and
what if he were someone, who could see and
speak as he looked below at this world of
water and clay. Let's go on a tour and join
him in flight and see what the sun has to say.
For untold years I've made this trip,
surveying the vast Atlantic. What memories
I have of historic ships, from the Mayflower
to the Titanic! Now my horizon lights up the
coast of a land so pleasing to me, with a
statue that speaks of the huddled masses,
yearning to be free. Awake America, for I've
put into flight those stars that have dotted the
sky, and replaced them with my great shaft of light,
causing night's
mysteries to die. I love this land with it's open
display of the freedom that everyone craves.
Remember, I also observe
other lands where the people are nothing
but slaves! This country is one of a kind
in this world. It's freedom is cherished
by all. Foreigners gamble to enter this
land, so one day they can stand tall.
"ell, someone's sunset is another's sunrise
That's a way of life with me. The Pacific
now is unfolding beneath and this great
place is harder to see. As the shadows
lengthen on this beautiful land, please
remember as this day ends, if the clouds
don't dampen your spirits or mine, "I will
see you tomorrow my friends!" |
