I Come From By Jordan Leigh

Espana Land of my forefathers Land of the great armada Land of history that many know not My forefathers came across the seas in search of new hopes leaving behind the terrorism,war,and lost hopes From wealth to poverty my family came From honor to shame to our once honored name Life in America came as a surprise Like a gift just given Unknowing of what was to come Difficulties,despair,work,love,and care Were only a few to which my family knew Years went by How how did time fly Like a bird soaring through the sky Oh how times have changed Technology changed and came dependant cars,laptops,cells,and planes Something my forefathers never seen Equal rights and opportunities Gave women like me the chance to dream Of a better future filled with dreams that become reality I’m proud to say I come from… descendants of Espana

Lovely poem JB. Looking forward to reading more of your poems. I'm Maltese, but my surname 'Callus' has also been linked to a village in Spain. // paul

a fun, and wonderful poem, Jordan, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
