I wonder what she thought
 
As she stood there, strong and tall.
 
She couldn't  turn away,
 
She was forced to watch it all.
 
Did she long to offer comfort
 
As Her country bled,
 
With her arm forever frozen
 
High above her head?
 
She could not shield her eyes.
 
She could not hide her face.
 
She just stared across the water
 
Keeping Freedom's Place.
 
The smell of smoke and terror
 
Somehow reduced her size;
 
So small within the harbor
 
But still we recognized
 
How dignified and beautiful
 
On a day so many died.
 
I wonder what she thought;
 
And I know she must have cried.
