Description

American immigration is a very great thing:
New life, new job, new hope waiting,
People come from all over the place.
People come of all different race.
Every country they come from, for all different reasons:
Poverty, war, drought, and famine, too;
That is just to name a few.
These people who move here, move here to thrive:
New houses, new jobs, new schools, new lives.
On ship, on plane, on foot they come
Deserting their friends, family, and the life they knew.
How scared they must feel, how desolate, too!
“What does my future bring?
Good? Bad? Evil? Love? Pain? Gain? ”
These questions must go through their brains.
Will life be okay? Will I succeed? ”
In America, the answer is “yes.”
“Yes, I can succeed. Yes, I can start a new life.”
For that is how America got her name;
“The Melting Pot” is her claim to fame.
For liberty, for justice, for one and for all,
God bless America.
