'Remember Where You Come From' Poem by Linda Winchell

'Remember Where You Come From'



I notice that you've made it to the top,
Successful beyond compare.
You don't come here to visit anymore,
We think you have stopped, and really don't care?

I know we live in run down homes,
And are clothes are not the best.
And we don't have a fancy car like yours,
And have to take the, boog-a-loo exspress.

The highschool where you graduated,
Is in need of some repairs.
The windows and doors are broken out,
And gangs' are living there.

I'm writing you to ask, that no matter how big you've become,
Remember where it is, remember where you've come from.

You can take the P out of Poor, and replace it with D.
That's what was placed infront of you,
The Door of; op-por-tun-ity.

Some of us have not made it yet,
But we pray are not too far behind.
Just thought I'd write and remind you,
Of those forgotten you've left behind.
