The Standing Welcome
She stands there
Day and
Night.
Never waivering
Never backing down
The rivers water lapping at the
Island edges.
Stars twinkling behind her high
Crown.
Face forward
Never looking
Back
Watching the generatrions
Pass by.
She welcomes all
Accepts the new, old and inbetweeners
She holds her light
A new meaning for all
A welcoming sign
A goodbye sign
She stands for
Freedom
Beginnings
And new Life
A lone Woman in a
World
Where Males dominate
A Mother for all.
