My mother had a dream once
To help the young and old
Twenty years of hardship
Takes a lot out of your soul
And the vultures of society
Want to pick away
At her dream's
To close the door's of opportunity
That as helped so many
To make their own dreams
Become so real
Perhaps it's time for me
To sow the seeds she gave
To make my own life dreams
Become her legacy
