It’s Christmas in New York City, come and experience
the sights, lights and sounds so pretty,
That comprises the rhythm,beat and excitement of our
great big and magnificent city.
New Jersey is the state i’m so proud to call home, your always
on my mind when i’m away to long. just the mention of New Jersey
lingers like a melody from a romantic song.
if i did not mention the wonder that is New Jersey, I’d be remiss.
And if the thought or words should pass my lips, the experience
Peering down upon elegant boulevards from the Arc de Triomphe
lovers strolling along the Champs-Élysées
imaginary strings, chords and sounds of violins begin to play,
what more can one say.

"America-America,words of liberty,words of freedom,
a melodious melody,glorious lyrics and sounds,.....a hymn,
and a vision of freedom, lets keep it around!
The United States of America,
no more powerful words ever written or said.
A nation born of revolution and framed and formed by our founding fathers.
Meaningful words such as: Freedom, Liberty and Justice still prevail,
ringing out loud and clear…as the American symbol of independence,
"THE LIBERTY BELL," did in our founders yesteryear.
Lady of Liberty and mother of freedom and justice to all,......
who offers her welcome to whomever may call,
be them rich, poor or oppressed,....
She stands watch in the in her robes,so dressed,...
“America land of opportunity, home of the brave and free.
Where the American flag and eagle fly for one and all to see.
Our nations flag ripples proudly in the breeze,from sunny California to the sandy shores of Maine, all
across America up to the ocean sea’s.
I originally started to write motivational quotations to inspire troubled young people to make rational and success building decisions. I have asked corporations to place motivational uplifting quotations and great thoughts on fast food cups and mall posters. Cities and stores to do the same on store windows and billboards. As yet no one seems to care??
Best Wishes
Joseph P. Martrino
You gave your all,...your love, heart, body and soul,....you took our
fall,....as foretold and still remained straight and tall,....to later inspire one and all.
Your head was bloodied by thorns and bowed, not in disgrace,.....but in heavenly grace,......for the whole entire human race.
"America I loved you in my youth,with all my
heart and soul....And I still
believe in what you stand for, now that I have
grown grey and old.
We live in a republic where freedom of speech,
justice,liberty and equality for all, are the mortar,
brick,foundation and cornerstone of our great democracy.
