I am only....
I am only that which I leave behind
I am only that which is remembered of me
I am only that which I have learned
I am only that with whom I have affected, hopefully for the best
I am only that for whom I have touched
I am from family
I am a continuation of my lineage
I am a piece of humanity
I am that which I become
I have my vices
I have my kindness
I have my betterments to do
I have my accomplishments to make
I have my needs
I have my notions
I have my failures
I have my wisdoms
I have my wises and my intolerances
I hold music in my veins
I hold art in my mind
I hold love and compassion in my heart
I hold family and friends dear
I hold life one day at a time

I couldnt be more impressed by your poem. I am so jealous! I cant just whip out a poem like that. Every other portion of english came so naturally to me, but I just couldnt grasp poetry! I love reading it, however. I especially love Shel Silverstein (dont think I spelt that right) and his book "Where the Sidewallk Ends". I used to carry that book around with me in grade school! I was incredibly impressed by your poetry and if there is ever a need for a poem for on these blogs I for sure will be interested.
