Linda Hogan's, "Heritage"

I'm sure some of you have written interesting texts in response to that poem. If you submit them here, you will have completed 1/4th of your creative writing requirement! I'm looking forward to reading some of them! Phoebe

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’s my eyes.
This gives me strength to fight
my way ahead in 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 ones, 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.

A really beautiful and insightful poem! I liked the part where you say that positive thoughts are contagious, that really is true.
