30 Poems, 30 Days 2020: Heart NYC (Day 2)
Credit: ABC News Live
As the plane touched down I almost cried
Seeing the sign “Welcome to NYC”
Something I never thought I would see
Just like the images one September day
Just like the empty streets today
From miles away I still remember
How I felt seeing that city
Better than falling in love
Something so familiar yet new
I never wanted to walk so much
To see the sights and the people too
I felt at home in theatre district
As I walked through Time Square
As the ferry boat went by Lady Liberty
During the walks with amazing friends
Every bit inspires me to write every day
Time will tell when I’ll see that city
I still love where I live, don’t doubt that
South Texas, I’m proud to be
I just wish I had a time machine
To be in two places at once
To experience it all over again
To take us to the future where hope thrives
To the moment where I’m there again
My thoughts are always there
Praying we’ll all get through
NYC taught me about passion, compassion,
But most of all about strength
