That Moment on American Land

By: Xiu Mei Wu

(Family Poem)

Boom, Boom, thump, thump?

Heart skipped a beat as we board the plane,

Wishing the voyage was worth the excitement?

Coming to America ?Woo Hoo!?

As everything was new to us,

Through that trip,

We experienced new food?

New races of people, all with different face color, different cultures, new parts in our lives was about to began

A place we dreamed to be in,

As we enter JFK airport,

We were scared we didn?t forgotten to bring what was needed of us,

Walking out of the airport in relief,

It ended up being a disappointment?

Where?s all the high tech building?

Where are all the easy to make money?

Why is all the streets so crowded with people?

We should guess again! Because:

Work was hard to find,

Rent was a problem,

When can we start and make a living?

Through all that pain that we endured?

All that hard working for 12 hours a day,

Finding a way to pay all those debts,

Looking out for ourselves, and not relying on others,

We finally earn a good position as a family of Chinese,

In America.
