Here I Sit!

Room full of Strangers!

~Here I sit~

I’m sitting in a room

Full of people,

Most of whom I hardly know.

I’m listening to them tell me stories

About their families,

Family life I’ve never known.

They’ve traveled roads

Very different from my own,

We met along some crossroads

And started to talk.

We found the differences interesting

So we started to walk,

We saw how lots between us

Was so different,

With paths few the same;

However, we got along alright

So friends are what we became.

So now, Here I sit,

In a room full of people

Most of whom I hardly know,

I’m listening to them tell me

stories about Family life,

I’ve Never Known!

I've been writing as long as I could hold a crayon! Remember writing my first story like it was yesterday at 5. I remember the details of the day, location, time, excitement & where the story was preserved for all time! Lots Born From That!
