Quito Luz de America
By Eva Ortiz | From : Ecuador | School : Bloomfield High SchoolI am from a place called
Quito luz de America,
recognized for its cultural wealth
for the beauty of their churches
surrounded by the warm smell
of their mountains and valleys
full of color and life,
that beautify its land.
I am from a country with
friendly and cordial people
of different religions as Catolicos,
Cristianos and Testigos De Jehová
surrounded by customs and values
People wanting to get ahead,
where bread and water are well received
from a country where humility lasts.
I am from a country where
its flag has value for its people
Yellow represents the gold,
sun and wealth of the country
Blue represents the ocean,
the clear and clean Ecuadorian sky
Red represents the blood shed
by the heroes.
I am from a place where childhood
still exists, children play soccer and
volleyball in the streets without shoes
enjoying the company of others.
