The Many Sides of Me
Someone once asked me to put down poetically things about myself, so here it is.
I have a mind, a body, a sense that I am one
I am a husband and father, but first I was a son
I do have faith, but I question, the many times I’m tried
As, that just goes to prove that I have many sides
I am a worker for a dollar, with hopes to get much more
Truth be known, if I was richer, I’d know not what it’s for
I have a burning passion every morning, noon and night
To express my thoughts poetically, these ideas that I write
I also am a dreamer, allowing my mind to let me play
It helps to break monotony, to make a better day
I teach sixth grade religion, because kids today know not
They have no values, nor morals, truly they know squat
But, if I were to sum it up, this man of whom I speak
I would honestly have to say that I am quite unique
Though I may share some interests, commonalities you’d say
I am just me, with good and bad, I’d choose no other way
Liked it
You really are unique. Sixth grade religion huh? Never would have guessed. I hope your passion for poetry never burns out, and if it does I hope it lights a different torch, for its the things we are passionate about that make this life worth living.
This is a very nice poem. I really enjoyed reading it.
I loved the inner sharing in this poem. So well delivered with the complete giving of yourself here. WEll done!
