Based on the poem by; Linda Hogan.
From my mother, who still watches every step I make,
I take on her good moods
and smiles that reach my eyes.
This gives me strength to fight my way through life.
“ Smile, and life will smile back at you”.
From my father I take on his sensitivity
and caring for others.
Don’t give in no matter how big a challenge you face…
There is no problem that can’t be solved.
“If you fail once, then try again”.
And grandma’ who passed away a long time ago,
but still is by my side every day, whispering in my ear..
She has made me believe that there is some good in all people,
and that love makes the ones I care about bloom…
“Positive thoughts are contagious”…
From my family I have learned that life can be a big challenge.
But by remembering their words of wisdom I should be able to
open the right doors to find myself a wonderful life… and I have.
G. ( In response to Linda Hogan’s poem “Heritage”)
