If I were to stumble upon success <br />acquire fortune and fame, <br />become a songwriting sensation <br />possess my very own airplane (that would be so cool) <br />but it would all be for not <br />if I suddenly start to change <br />get caught up in a lifestyle <br />of flamboyance and material things, <br />lose sight of what's important <br />like family and true friends <br />but I can promise this won't ever happen <br />because I know exactly who I am <br />and how much of a disgrace it would be <br />if I forget the road from which I came.<br /><br />Bernard Snyder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remembering-where-i-came-from/
