Immigrants All - God Bless America

My grandfather came here when he was 19
He went to Cornell and studied business.
He was involved in politics all his life.
He raised a lawyer and two engineers.

My mother came here when she was 12
She came with her father and mother, a sister
and three brothers in a plane, at night
from Havana, Cuba.

She was a good mother and a good wife
to a bad man, whose father came here when he was 14
She raised three children; a CPA, a Medical Practioner
and 2 business executives.

Her grandchildren are Doctors, Lawyers, Executives,
Engineers, Housewives, Teachers, Contractors.
We are an American family in America.
God Bless America!
