Edgerton

Edgerton is where i grew up
   When life seemed a little rough
   My family is down there
   And i have friends here and there
   I moved away
   In kind of a good way
   I still go down there
   To see my mom who i love dear
   Edgerton will always be home
   Until my name is carved in stone

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
