My Life Story

If I could write myself a story About the greatest story ever told, Which is full of happiness and glory As I have walked down life's road. It would be over a hundred pages It would be written with ink and sweat, And each chapter would be of different life stages And not one word would I ever regret. The story would be of my father And the ethnics in me which he did instill, How he never saw me as a nuisance or a bother And because of him I am honest and I never did steal. The story would also be of my mother And how she taught me to never judge, How no one was ever better than another And because of beliefs or of races never to hold a grudge. The story would also be of my siblings Of all of my brothers and sisters dear, Of our fighting and arguments which family brings And also of our pain and sadness and fear. The story would be of my son And how a good honest man he has become, The many victories that he had fought for and won Knowledge and honor and his word became his sum. A story though I cannot write Even though that's the story I have lived and I know it, It still brings me great joy and much delight But, I'm not an Author I am a poet. Randy L. McClave
