Poem
Thank you Dad: My father in the eyes of God, helped me for nine years I remember my bedroom, as young as being in the crib I remember the toys, the spinning top, and the ball with stars on it I had a place to visit where I could ride my red tricycle I was free to be me, as I played with joy! He taught me how to write the letters of the alphabet He was a well-known story teller himself He gave me small special gifts, I held close to me He even gave me a peacock feather that fell from his peacock My best friend lived nearby, we ran the fields together, so fun! His brother was a poet too and his other relative painted like I do I forgive the abandonment after a crisis happened, Because, he didn’t stand a chance against the Sands family Who took me away with all their control, and made me live a lie But, I will always remember what he told his sister: That I would be mighty in whatever I do! He had that confidence in me that no-one else did! - I have held onto that my entire life - I wouldn’t trade the first 9 years of time with him for anything! - Thank you Dad - Heidi Sands 1/13/19
