[bodytext] => An autobiography
So simple a task I thought to myself At the end of the class When I returned home I stared at the page And all that jumped out at me Was my Name, Sex, and Age. I thought it would be easier And more enjoyable as well If I set my words to rhythm As my life, to you I tell. This year marks my entry Into the fourth decade of my life I’m a mommy, a daughter, a sister An employee, an ex-wife The 5 sisters I have Are now my best friends I know whatever happens They’ll be there in the end Mom was a housewife Loving and kind Dad died when I was 11 But is often on my mind Pop is my step-dad Though I detest that term He’s nothing but amazing Gentle, yet firm Roy was my husband But we weren’t meant to be We remain very close A best friend he is to me. We share a beautiful miracle A treasure straight from Above She is my pride and joy Taught me the meaning of true love Sheridan is the name Of my precious little girl Weighed only 1 pound and 11ounces When she came into this world 2 Nephews-Chris and Keith Katie and Kristie are my nieces As you can tell family is important to me They are life’s biggest pieces. There are lots of things that I enjoy My hobbies are not few Reading and writing poetry My favorite thing to do Cross-stitch keeps the stress down low While dancing makes me smile Singing I might crack a glass But I attempt it once in a while My history of employment Right now, or what I’ve done? I was a bookkeeper, a receptionist Waitressing was fun Head teller at the bank of Fleet Cashier, and office slave But my number one occupation Is teaching Sheridan to behave. Right now I work full time At APX Technology Assorted tasks, faxes and files Have been assigned to me. Totally different from what I’ve done A nurse…a dream for me Are you asking yourself why? It’s as simple as can be… As a girl I was burned quite severely In the hospitals I stayed It was the nurses who sat next to me Who made me well, while I played They took care of me in many ways Not just physically They touched my heart, my mind, my soul They treated all of me When Sheridan was born so little So fragile and so small It was the nurses’ hands who offered comfort They helped us through it all I want to say thank you To give some of what I’ve gotten Because the loving heart of a nurse Will never be forgotten. I know it from experience I’ve been where patients lie To comfort and take away their pain Wipe their tears if they cry To help them forget they’re sick, To try and make them smile To care for them, to make them well To be a friend for a while That’s it…my life My autobiography I hope you have more insight On what’s it’s like being me [comments] => 7 [counter] => 288 [topic] => 21 [informant] => xoirishxo [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
