I remember,

I remember,

the house where

I was born,

the little window where the sun came peeping in at morn........

by Thomas Hood

Irish Washerwoman

They came with hopeful hearts and willing hands to make a home far from the world they knew...

They came with faith to light their way and humor to ease their journey...

They came with pride in who they were and courage to overcome all hardships as they followed their cherished dream of freedom.

With these gifts, they built a new life in a new land...

Sharing these gifts, they've blessed and brightened this land they came to love......by Ed Cunningham

They came not as conquers

but as believers in the

promise of America....
