Poverty teaches
Many lessons
Poverty gives birth
To richness of thought.
There are many
Instances in history
Of a poor person
Becoming a leader.
Ford was poor
So was Disney
Oprah Winfrey
Rose to heights.
A tree rises
To the sky
Its roots strong
Underground.
Be inspired
By all who achieved
Reach greatness
By working hard.
