Pay It Forward
July 12, 2010
I don't want to give up
now is not the time
I've come too far
to fall flat on my behind
it is what I'm destined to do
achieve great things
that is the one task
my ancestors left to me
they fought hard for me
to be where I am
I'd still be a slave
if they hadn't taken a stand
it's admirable
what they did
I want to teach that same perseverance
in the future, to my own kids
