Go Far___Go Short, Make Me Proud Poem by Ojok Isaac

Go far___Go short
Make me proud___
Let me sing your name amidst the crowd
And wear no helmet of shame under the cloud

Go far___Go short
Make me proud___
Only you___not all___is a mirror reflecting our home
And they'll gist, "that shows where he comes from"

Go far___Go short
Make me proud___
Never leave the brain why you are there
For that will prove___you truly care

And our family's name won't be maculated
We'll always be welcome by warm hugs uncalculated
Go far___ Go short
Make me proud___
