I wait for my turn…
as I hear my brothers shout before me
to proclaim a new beginning
to light a new way
When my turn comes
I will burst forth from these walls
I will scream the loudest of all
and everyone will love me the most
They will ooh and ahh
and clap for me
I will be in pictures and forevermore
My blast will be felt by the smallest child
And I will make everyone happy
I am a firework
It is my turn…
New Year
Before the New Year, I Find Myself
Who Am I?
I feel … overwhelmed by life
I trust … I’ll somehow be a good wife
I hear … the sounds of children laughing
I understand … that moment are always fleeting
I worry … that we will never have enough money
I’m glad … though we’re “poor” we are happy
I want … my children to be kind to each other
I don’t want … others to feel I’m a bother
I’m sad … that the world is a much harsher place
I dream … of someday floating in space
Who Am I?
I am … wife, mother, daughter, friend
I like … stories that are happy in the end
I hope … I’ll die peacefully in my bed
I dislike … peanut butter on my bread
I admire … St. Therese, the Little Flower
I fear … over temptations, I have weak power
I need … God to always show me the way
I know … it’s my choice to have a bad or good day
I wish … I had a butler, a maid, and a chauffer
I wonder … what sacrifice for today I should offer
Who Am I?
I’m happy … my husband has a job that provides for us all
I pretend … I need something so I can go to the mall
I try … to clean but I can never keep up
I read … so much that at night, it keeps me up
I’m sorry … I don’t say I love you enough
I wear … purses filled with too much stuff
I play … video games when I don’t want to think
I’m angry … at people who drive after they drink
I’m relieved … everyday that my parents are still alive
I love … that I have a family of five!
