A poem a day for 2013 - day 124 - Perspective

Today my mother said that when she was in junior high they had to walk a hundred miles to school
You did not walk a hundred miles to school I said
Respectfully as I could
We walked three miles
Through all white neighborhoods
Past folks who hated us
And we were children
You walked a hundred miles to school I said
Respectfully as I could
