The Life of a Simple Girl

I am from a mother who was told she couldn't have any children.
A childhood that gave me a sense of humor,
A sense of kindness and caring.
I am from bath soap washing away all the stresses of the past,
The warm touch a parent gives a newborn child.
I am from jokes of all kind,
Even the occasional whine.

I am from the burning sun in the sky,
From its awakening to its good-bye.
I am from the moon and the stars,
The glistening, calm waters of this earth.
From the beginning of time, to man kind's birth.

I am from every accomplishment,
Every mistake,
And every chance that i will take.
Listening and learning,
Laughter and warmth churning.


I am from the smell of steak from the grill,
The potatoes from the oven,
From the green beans in the microwave.
I am from home cooking's warm lovin'.


I am from the chilling chill running down my back,
On a cold winter's night.
I am from the mystifying white snow,
Slowly melting away, but with a big glow.
Soon to come, the warmth and birth of spring.
