Hey! Remember Who You Are! Poem by Janis Land Raymer

***An Open Letter To Me***

Hey-
Remember who you are!
You're Alvin Land's grand-daughter.
You must behave...
You represent your Papa.
With his kind nature he earned respect and got it.
He was kind and gentle and compassionate.
You'll never be him-
But you can try...
You can make him proud.

Hey-
Remember who you are!
You're Tommy Land's daughter.
You must live life...
You represent your dad.
With his compassion and personality,
He won our love, respect-our very hearts.
You'll never be him-
But you can try...
You can make him proud.

Hey-
Remember who you are!
You are Janice Frazier's daughter.
You must be strong...
You represent your mom.
With her integrity and morals,
She gave you an almost impossible goal to obtain.
You'll never be her-
But you can try...
You can make her proud.

Hey-
Remember who you are!
You are a Land!
You must protect that name.
You represent your family.
With their moods and habits,
They gained a sometimes unfair negative reputation that you must fix.
You'll never be totally like them,
But you can try...
You can make them proud.
