The love you give


Inspired by the love you give

so what if my parents were low income

you provided jobs

so what if I was an immigrant

you provide opportunities 

so what if I didn't know English

you provided language 

so what if I didn't understand

you provided meaning

so what if I didn't know how to write

you provided tools

so what if I stumbled

you picked me up

so what if I gave up

you provided hope

so what if I thought college was unachievable

you made my dream come true
