I came across this poem a few years ago. It is by a local poet whom I have had visit my school a couple of times. It's makes me think of some of my former students.
"Where I Live"
Where I live
there are no trees
to climb, but I still
reach for the stars.
My dreams take root
in concrete,
and my branches
lift the sky.
by Carole Boston Weatherford
(from Sidewalk Chalk, pg 31)
