Alma Mater

ALMA MATER

Never forget how blessed you are
All night papers, countless readings
When the homework never ends
When you feel like complaining
Remember;
Not everyone gets this chance.

Never forget where you’re going
A bright future rests in your hands
Watch the cooks in the cafeteria
Watch the janitors mopping floors
Remember;
Not everyone gets this chance.

Never forget this opportunity
Morning classes, countless coffee
When the days become redundant
When lectures are painfully dry
Remember;
Not everyone gets this chance.

Never forget where you came from
Or those who helped you along the way
As you grow in power and wealth
Lend a hand to the weak and poor
And always remember,
Not everyone gets this chance.
