Poem
QUEST Leafing through the pages of my life, there are moments I would stop to reflect on each quest I had in the past. Growing up in confusion, whom and which family I did belong, my quest was to be on my own and be independent. Then marrying and having two children at early age, I had another quest of coming here to United States of America to have better opportunities to provide for my children and to have not only stability; but to lead a better life. I came here and settled in California forty seven years ago. Not only I became independent or on my own, I also found peace of belonging to my own family with no confusion. Had ample opportunities to be stable and live a better life. Yet, a better life does not mean, no storms, no trials or no difficulties and so my quest to raise my children as a single parent followed and later my quest of making sure I retire with enough to live on and not be dependent to anybody. Now, in my golden years I have one more quest, to go to Vienna to find out more about the girl in my visions that I had for more than five decades for discovering her whereabouts in Google is not good enough for me. I must obtain more information about her and my quest is to search where she lived more than a hundred years ago to see for myself and know how I would feel when I get there and so this is my quest, to find it out for me. 9/27/21 "Q" Contest, New Only Poetry Constance La France Theme: #4
