My life Quote by Anonymous
“I am from my past I am from a large white house Filled with 4 separate souls All living there together But still living there alone I am from keeping to myself Never saying what I think Keeping a smile on my face Even if its not what I mean I am from a vast green yard With endless days to play And a big brother Who has supported me through every passing day I am from a woman who taught me To love everyone I meet And a man who showed up late Though I had reserved him a seat I am from leaving that white house Followed by so many more I am from new siblings And a dad who hadnt been there before”
