I want....You to know that I love you no matter where you go or who you're with or what you become,I want....
To see my children fullfilled, happy human beings with something to offer this world that wasn't here before they came.I want....to grow a garden and watch what I've toiled for come to fruition knowing that my hands and time made it happen.I want....My brothers to understand what they mean to me,how much I look up to all of them even though I am older, how proud I am of the men that they are and the father's they've become.I want....To sing, for my heart is full of music and I cannot contain it within the small confines.I want....to offer something to this world that it doesn't deserve just because I have grown to be that good of a person.I want....to be mature enough to give and love and help without expecting anything in return. Just for the sake of doing it because it's the right thing to do.I want....there to be peace on this earth so that my children don't have to worry about the future of their children.I want....for us to look at each other and not care what color our skin is or how big our wallet is or where we come from but what kind of human beings we show the world we are.I want....to be successful but redefine what success means to me. To know that it is not in the making of the money but in the making a difference.I want....my wondeful friends to know that I treasure every one of them and what each of them means to my life in very different ways.I want....so much more than I deserve but never wanting for more than I have.
this poem is so wonderful, i found myself nodding more than a few times in agreement. if you ever douted that your brothers did not know how proud you are of them well i truely hope they do now. and your last stanza was such a beautiful round off
"so much more than I deserve but never wanting for more than I have."
may i too be able to live by that sentiment, Thank you for sharing!
This creative process is such a great outlet for me. You can pretty much tell my whole life through my poetry. I love to write. It is water, breath and air to me. It's the cheapest form of therapy I k.. more..
