The plaque says, "Born and raised in San Fransisco, the pride of 'The bear flag state,' my heart knows it's coming home, when I cross the Golden Gate.
Greeting Marin County, she spans the ocean's roar; connecting to the headlands rolling hills and rocky shore.
Born of a Dream: 'It can't be done!" they cried, but gallantly she stands, a monument to man, his aspirations and his pride.
Lofty spires reaching for the sky, royal arches beckon you: she's the nugget of the west coast, queen of the pacific blue.
Circling her towers are cross of silver mist; peeking though the fog banks, mister sun blows a kiss.
Smiling a sunny welcome to strangers out at sea; feeling her outstretched arms is coming home to me!
We love you, Marin County, our emerald by the by a: And to the Glorious Golden Gate, Happy 50th Birthday!"
