From my mother the red chair
which I sit in every night.
The patience and capability of structure,
I need in my job as a mom.
The colour of my hair,
the wrinkles around my eyes,
and the extra weight around my waist
I got from her.
From my father I got my length,
my green and brown eyes.
The joy of being around people,
and from that my social skills.
The love of nature,
my good spirit and desire
of going abroad
I got from him.

Good reflection on the influence parents has got on their children. I guess writing this may have exposed a few smiles ;)
