I am from the old dairy farm
I am from rolling hills and lush valleys
and watching summer storms from my back porch
I am from a long dirt road
I am from honeysuckle days and firefly nights
and a dog named Kitty, who was my best friend
I am from Billy Joel, "The Outsiders" and "The Color Purple"
From Barbies and Big Wheels
and my mother's crazy Halloween costumes
I am from Price and Vincent
From the strength and dignity of my mother
and the quiet morality of my father
I am from cops and robbers with my brother
Superman and Wonder Woman together
Worst enemies ant yet great friends
I am from aunt Paula
Who always loved me like her own
I am from heartbreak.....and loss
But I am also from triumph
and discovering new talents
I am from my children and they are from me
I am from faith
and the promise of a better love
I am from everything
Everyone who has touched my life
and shaped who I am
I am from continuing to grow......
One thing I learned about you is that you grew up on a dairy farm, which is really cool!!
ReplyDeleteYour family is different than mine because you grew up with a brother, I am the oldest and my family just adopted two boys so I am not used to playing cops and robbers, played with barbies a lot growing up!
The best thing about your poem is it's flow, it is very good!
One think you could change is to post your video so we can see pictures of your childhood, especially the dairy farm because I think that's really interesting!
