From time to time, as a first wave in this land of dreams,
I glimpse the second generations, my peers, it seems.
They possess more,
Their English is fluent, their learning refined,
They tread paths of success, so well-defined.
But I count myself blessed,
For I strive with my whole being,
Facing each trial, each moment, unseeing.
Today is a gift, the finest of times I see,
And tomorrow promises an even greater destiny.
