"SI SE PUEDE"
from gloriana casey
Parade, Parade, Parade today!
Celebrate Latino!
And D.C has so many there,
so many that you all know.
Supreme Court of our government,
Sonia Sotomayer!
A good place for Latina girls--
aim for high and higher!
Ken Salazar--INTERIOR__
guards land from sea to sea.
So keep those open spaces big
in legacy to be.
George Santayana, he's the one
philosopher I pick.
For if we do forget the past,
we'll be repeating it!
And military--don't forget
Richard E. Cavazos!
First Four Star General, he's the one
In Purple Heart--his brave shows!
And music too, our lives are filled
with rhythms, so so right.
Ritchie Valens--Selena too--
Santana's music might!
There's Luis Walter Alvarez,
with science son, they think--
an asteroid hit the Yucatan!
And dinosaurs? Extinct!
Ellen Ochoa, she's the first
Latina up in space.
Three patents to her name, you know;
in science made her place.
Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta,
for Civil Rights they fought.
Non-violence was the means to change;
this message still is taught.
Chicano Roy--King of the Road--
motorcycle chopper.
And from his San Fernando home
made "ART of MOLDING" proper.
Oh yes, I know I left sports out,
like baseball, but you see,
without Latino players then,
this sport would cease to be!
For movie stars the list is long
and NASA people too.
Inventors , teachers, and artists ;
so which appeals to you?
No matter where you start in Life,
Latino's course is strong.
For SI SE PUEDE is the muse
to last your whole life long!
