Poem
When I was eight I had a reoccurring Dream that happened every night for A year. I kept adding on. I could not wait to fall asleep. I had built an orphanage For children. I taught them to Sew and cook. And I have Never liked cooking. But they did. Every night I could Not wait to get to sleep To see what I was adding To my orphanage farm. We added lots of animals And an art studio and A newspaper office. We had so much going On! After awhile We added babies. Lots of babies. As the babies Grew up We taught Them to embroider, But not knit. I never learned to Cast on, so knitting Was out. I could not Wait to close my eyes That year. Every night was a New adventure. Then one night the Dream epic abruptly Stopped. But My life’s purpose Has continued. I have led a life With children And babies. I have taught them To sew and embroider, But not knit. I have rescued A multitude of Animals from Captivity. I have Taught all of my Charges to be nice To each other, to Play, and to have fun. My students are Not orphans, but Some are close to it. I am their go to person To show them what they Need to do or say to Make a friend and Keep a friend. I have had many Friends come to My house and Play with me in My art studio, So in a way, I guess I am Living my dream. And probably Fulfilling my purpose.
