my people are the ground of this country.

their skin

like the ground that the pueblos of new mexico sit on.

their eyes, like mirrors

reflect the pain that they've gotten through.

their hands, rough and cracked

planted the first crops known to north america

simple and hearty.

my people give me strength and hope.

my people help me cope. 

they keep me on my feet.
