To all of those thereabout, honor and hail
For I am Allie Baldassaro,
Native dweller of the swamp-lands,
Champion of the scholar-house;
And daughter of money-counter
And one who sketches shelters.
I have catered to my community
By participating in projects and programs.
Leader of cheers and chants,
Arranger of apprentice-activities,
Contributor to columns,
I remain above the rest.
I continue to conquer competitions,
Neither defeated nor destroyed.
I shall strive and succeed,
Labor intently to be learned,
Become healer of the health-impaired
And determine my destiny,
For I am Allie Baldassaro
And I will persist to prosper for my peers.
