Poem

 It is a magical place

It is where your dreams can be chased

It is the city where you can't age

The one we've always dreamed for

The one in which you´ll never get bored


People are always surprised

By its monsters that cover the sky

The bull that isn't feared by the young-girl

who walked with will through the concrete jungle


Living here is like living in a dream

It is like tasting your favorite ice cream

It is protected by a great green warrior

That from liberty he is the savior


Millions of people visit it every year

With infinite stories to hear

Everyone prays in their chapel

May God save The Great Apple!


Like my friend Frank said,

I want to be a part of it

So we can go on an endless walk

Where a "BOOM!" of feelings explodes

Of course it is! New York, New York.
