Grad Uses Poetry to Thank Parents

Recent Westmont graduate Kimberly Quezada Carrillo, president of the college’s first-generation club, penned a poem to thank her parents, Manuel and Maria.

The Light of your Eyes

I am The Light of your eyes,
To which you let dream of everything that is great.
You made me an ambitious person,
And you taught me the most valuable thing.
Your love is luminous,
You were my guide when everything felt gloomy.
I am The Light of your eyes,
To which you gave everything.
When I wanted something you taught me that there was always a way,
I found a way to get comfortable.
I always had your vote,
And my ambition was devoted.
I am The Light of your eyes,
To which you let me dream of everything that is grand.
The most loving part of the two of you.
The one who was looking for any way to amaze you.
The one who overcame all obstacles.
The one who desired for an education.
The one who took action and followed her passion.
I am the Light of your Eyes who you let fulfill everything that is grand.
