| My Way by � LouReeves Institution life was not for me, I knew it well, had to be free! Through metal fence, I saw a home, And thought I'd always be alone. So education I did choose, Thus my life, I did not loose. I learned quickly the white man's way, And even then, I learned to play. I learned to work with mind and hands, And then I travelled through many lands. Then I learned the elements of piety, And even passed in high society. Recognition for studies and work I did receive, Beyond any measures I ever could conceive. But in all of this verbiage, I did not loose my heritage. Both life and nature at faith's core, With poetry and stories and much folklore! |
