Second Generation Poet

I am a second generation poet, to My Mother i owe it . Passed down to me as a gift, In a time where my life was set adrift. Time has a way of slowing us down Creating cobwebs in our minds like a ghost town My Life is much more different But this gift has always helped me feel less indifferent It is a burning desire To keep lit my poetry fire That was given to me so many years ago Forever kept in my depths below... Hello Everyone it has been a good few years since i have been on here much has happened in my life but my Love for Poetry has remained I have been married since 2018 and This year we welcomed a Handome baby Boy into this ongoing crazy World We are living in This piece literally came to me today as i was re-reading some of my work from years ago Time sure has a way of showing you how much you have and have not changed I look forward to getting to submit more of my work so you all can enjoy -Love Always Ettie
