Things of Today
By
Emma Dorsey
I am from scraps
of this and that
From antiques
and recycles.
I am from broken
down, crooked and a bit of shabby chic.
I am from an
earthy pig farm.
The old Live Oak
whose long broken branches remind me of myself.
I am from BBQ’s,
homemade gift giving
From Shug and me.
I am from if you’re
not bleeding, it won’t kill ya, clean your room, and searching for a heart of
gold.
I’m from time
forgotten and starlit moon lights.
Homemade ice
cream, chocolate dope and hugs and kisses
From raising
siblings and all my own, plus a few more of others.
Family pictures
proudly displayed on Facebook.
I am from lots
of kids and many more g kids that makes my heart a glow.
A love that no
one else will know.
I have found my
heart of gold, in the love of my life and I’ve got a friend.
One who brought my
heart a mend.
