Our ancestors endured hardship
and poverty. Men and women
of courage immigrated to the
United States.
Holding dreams close to their
heart ,they raised their children
and through hard work they
held their heads high.
Many of their children, went
to wars and came back heroes,
even though their valor was
not recognized as it should
have been.
Struggling with racism and
bigotry they still pressed on
knowing that justice and
honor were on their side.
They did not ever lose faith
even though there tired bodies
ached because they knew their
children depended upon them.
Now, respect and honor crown
their hearts with the strength of
lions which they have passed on
to the youth.
Greatness and
power are now
within the
reach of all young
Chicano's,
but they must have
the courage
to live out their lives
with honor
and not fall victims
to the “fake
honor of dishonor
and
mediocrity.”
