The Brooklyn Bridge

The Brooklyn Bridge
By Josh Albarran


The Brooklyn Bridge
From Manhattan to Brooklyn
It's New York City's largest suspension bridge.
The one and only
The Brooklyn Bridge.

Walking across one borough to another.
And with the subway rides thorough the East River.
No why they called
The Brooklyn Bridge.

The longer we go, the faster we run.
You can hear Frank Sinatra signing
The Brooklyn Bridge.

From Manhattan to Brooklyn
From Times Square to the Barclays Center
It's the one and only
The Brooklyn Bridge.

New York City

New York City
By Josh S. Albarran


New York City, the city that never sleeps.
Every day and night, there are noise, loud noise.
Whatever we having fun, crying in tragedy or someone is on crime.

Home to America's largest skyscraper, the Empire State Building.
Home to the 27th World Champion New York Yankees.
And home to the best New York City subway transportation.

There are places we can go and famous people who had experience New York City before.
Like seeing the late great Babe Ruth hit an home run at the original Yankee Stadium.
Or seeing the cast of Saturday Night Live taping their shows at the legendary NBC studios in 30 Rock.
Or watching WrestleMania at an sold-out crown Madison Square Garden.

New York City is indeed America's largest city.
It is the heartland for every American who wants to go there.
When immigrants moved to America, their journey starts here in New York.
The State of Liberty is what starts in New York City.

New York City is America's home, our home to have memories of our lifetime.
And that's how we the people are New Yorkers.

Lincoln's Hat

Lincoln's Hat
By Josh S. Albarran



Abraham Lincoln wears a top hat to his personally.

It made him the tallest president in America history.
Lincoln's hat kept his political notes under it.
It also include letters, contracts and even his checkbook.
Some of these notes that he would be addressing it to the nation.
Lincoln's hat was his life when he served as president.
And when he was assassinated in a play, his hat was covered in blood.
It was not just a hat, it was a friend to Lincoln and the American people.

Made by Josh Albarran at the New York Public Library on June 6, 2013.
