More

 There's more to me than what you see,  

 When younger, I birthed a family; 

  I've hunted, fished, lived off the land,

  Even turned the heads of many a man. 

 

                                         I've loved with passion and great need,

                                      Yet, haven't succumbed to selfish greed;

                                                 Children four, I tried to raise with care, 

                                               Lost many a loved one and despaired.

                                                I've reinvented myself so many times,

                                                Left scars of the old self far behind;

                                                 I've written poems, songs and books,

                                                 And given my life a good hard look.

                                                  I've given all of me, it seems,

                                                  But never have I chased after dreams;

                                                  I'm content to be within my own skin,

                                                  And now-a-days, I consider that a win!

                                                  There are pills to take for the pains of age,

                                                   But none to make you a wise old Sage;

                                                   Life's Lessons form who we become,

                                                   We are nothing less than that total sum.

                                                                        My Muse
 

So many gardens, I have birthed,

With heart full of joy and mirth, 

In dry and wet climates alike;

It began when I was just a Tyke.

  Grandma Bertha was my inspiration,

She is the Muse of all my creations

From Flowers to even Lima beans;

 I wish that she just could have seen!

                                         REMEMBER ME   

                 I do not aspire to greatness, just only to be remembered.                                                                    I do not aspire to wealth, for in Spirit I have attained vast riches.                                                     I do not pine for Love, as I am wrapped in its warmth.                                                                       I do not seek revenge, for life's taught me to turn the other cheek.                                                     I do not long for things out of reach, for I am comfortable in my own skin.                                     I do not need great acclaim, for the pleasure comes in sharing.                                                         I do not have regrets, for the harsh times made me who I am.                                                           I do not aspire to greatness, Just Only to be Remembered!
