Poetry by Jennifer Olston

Upon a shining star
Where land meets the sea
A wish was granted
To you and to me.

So many came and went
From a far far away land
Looking for a renewed promise
So many women and men.

So many ships, ahoy men
Looking long and hard in search for land
At last, a guiding star at hand
Could only save a few of them.

The wish was granted for them to see
A promised land, a land of the free!
