    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this poem in February 2007, as an assignment for one of my graduate classes...I was going through a tough time with my 2 oldest kids...

    I am from....

     I am from a different culture
    I am from a land viewed as pasta and sauce, but so much more you could ever know
    I am from a mother who drank and forgot
    I am from a mother who took her place
    I am from a sister who is my best friend
    I am from a father so loved, who didn't know
    I am from the sadness of a child locked inside
    I am from a God who saved me, who gave me hope
    I am form two brothers I couldn't know
    I am from the mother I wanted to be
    I am from the failure my children see me to be
    I am from the unending love I feel for them
    I am from the hope one day they'll understand
    I am from love, hope, faith
    I am from now until I no longer am
