My mother was forty-one when she had me. I'm the youngest of six children. I have three sisters and two brothers. My oldest brother is a salesman for laundry products that are sold to dry cleaning stores. My oldest sister is a marine biologist. A few years ago she and two other women marine biologist made history on the mini sub, Alvin, when just the women took Alvin down. No men were aboard. My youngest brother is in the Marines. My second oldest sister is the proud mother of six children. My third oldest sister has taken time out from her career to raise her three children. She is a pre-school teacher. 

 

Untitled 

You can see the tears in my eyes 
I feel like I'm about to die 
Seeing you with her the other night 
It didn't feel right 
When I told you it was over I lied 
Because that's not what I feel inside 
You know I still care 
But to get back together 
wouldn't be fair 
when I think of you 
Everyone tells me not to 
But I can't help it, I miss you 
I just can't let you go 
I need to let my love show 
But does it really matter 
Our relationship is already a shatter 
I know we could have more 
But it's not worth fighting for 
There was so much we did share 
And for that I will always care... 
 

Mother

I don't' think I ever told you 
how much I appreciate the 
things you do 
You've always been there when 
I cried and always spotted me, 
when I lied 
You've cleaned my wounds, when 
I got hurt and punished me when 
I did wrong 
You were always there to kiss 
me good night 
You always knew now to make 
things all right 
I can't imagine, what it would 
be like without your loving touch 
You will always and forever come 
first in my heart 
Mom, I haven't been showing you 
lately and I haven't told you, but 
now I'm writing these words 
down, You're not just my
mother, You're forever my best friend. 

All About Me

I write my little rhymes at night,
Sometimes during the day,
Some admire them greatly,
"Okay" is what others say,
I write about love and 
laughter,
sometimes anger too!
I write about happy times 
and
those that make me blue.
There is a special meaning to
every poem I write,
They show my love and 
spirit,
my power and my might
And this little rhyme
I wrote today
Explains it all you see,
because it shows
My deepest thoughts
All about me!
