Poem about Immigration

AMERICAN DREAM (The original immigrants)
By Patty E. Padgett



Ancestors came across the waters
Men, women, sons and daughters
Ellis Island is where they’d debark
Record numbers to make their mark
Immigrants dreamed of no more strife
Craving the chance for a better life
Always unsure but determined to cope
Never turning from their faith and hope
Denouement unknown, they came ashore
Reaching their destination, America’s door
Every day was an adventure anew
As they adjusted to their new milieu
Many saw their dreams come true


ANALYZING

This poem talks about how everyone is simply an immigrant and there's honestly no way around that fact.  Everyone came from somewhere else besides America. This poem also talks about the main reason immigrants come to America: Because of a dream. This poem talks about how they come here with dreams and about how they have so much faith and hope into coming to America.
