Poem

dreams flooded in my youth-

days when I was still trying to figure out who 
I was and what gifts God bestowed onto me;
I was ten when I discovered I could write-
wanted to write. 
loved to write.
needed to write.

a couple years later I started drawing to 
ignore the echoes of youthful transgressions;
etches of a life I wished I had,
ebony paint lining brushes, 
canvas wearing beauty and darkness-
hues of beautiful scars spread across an easel…
(making me who I am today)

I never really had proper schooling for my gifts-
they come as natural as the autumn’s chilled breeze,
I know this, 
and I feel blessed.

turning forty is really hitting me hard-
what have I done with my life?
accomplishments
awards
conquests

so I took these weary arthritic hands and started
creating a new form of art I never could have 
imagined I would embrace.

I found my late sister’s tool chest and began a whole new life
(a life of purpose)

hammer and nails
screws and driver
saw and wood-
my new artistic hobby is building personalized 
wood signs for family and friends.

I have one reason why I do what I do today-
to see the felicity on the face of a loved one;
my artwork is spread across the world
Canada
Philippines 
India 
and 
15 states in the US

my favorite artist is I,
for I have many a gift in me-
with hands of strength and inspiration 
feeding my creativity.
