Praise to London

Just a poem I wrote for the greatest city in the world =D Hope one day to live there

London, city of big dreams,

old monument of modern beauty,

daughter of the kingdom

God will protect 'till the end of time.

Your name sounds like freedom, it sounds like peace;

on you I trust, oh land of hope;

in your streets I see me walking,

in my heart, you are my future.

Like a gentle mother

you feed your children with food, houses and love;

you make them strong and kind.

In your green parks, in your old pubs, in your amazing museums;

your blood flows,

and you live in the heart of people who love you.

Author's Note

Again: english is a second language for me :)
Tell me what you think about it :)

Oh!!! this is a great poem - the British would love it! Personally - I hate London, "your blood flows" is a visionary line which echoes completely different associations for me! Actually I am going there in a week - will get all the enjoyment again to face the "gentle mother" of the oldest empire.

You are very lucky. You did some traveling in your life. The best days of a life is to discover the secrets of each city. I agree with your words. I had a great time in London. Fun people and so much to do. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Hey, not too shabby for having english as a second language! Just kidding, it was good! London is indeed one of the places I have yet to visit and I cannot wait to! And this makes me want to travel even more. It's times like these that I wish money grew on trees! I liked reading this very much. Très Bien!
