Roses are red and my name is Prosper
Location
Roses are red, my skin is brown,
My name is Prosper; I'm the only one in town.
I also play football, and run the track,
I am a top ten student, and that is a fact.
It isn't hard to maintain this for long,
It is very easy; like singing a song.
A,B,C,D,E,F,G
It's very simple and now you can see.
I have always been bright,
And have the desire to suceed.
But this came with a fight,
Including a goal with a need.
I want to go to college,
Happy and debt free,
So I decided to play football,
But that didn't come without a fee.
My parents have always been there for me,
To support me, guide me, help me.
But now I am going to college,
Who is going to house me, feed me, and clothe me?
I don't have a stack of cash or a fancy IPad,
My dad is out there driving a yellow taxi cab,
We barely have enough money for me to play a sport,
But you can call me if you need a ride to an airport.
Going to a decent college isn't going to be impossible for me,
But if I rely on my parents alone, then it might be.
However, I will do whatever it takes to earn the trip.
From football to making poems; anything that will get me this scholarship!
And when I do earn it, I will tell the story,
The day I earned this scholarship, I was elated and gave God the glory!
