Constance La France Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

I Was Born

I was born and it was evident at an early age,
that I was a storyteller because I would ramble on and on to anyone;
who was unfortunate to be looking at me . . . .

But, I met death too early in my life and it scarred me deeply,
and eventually I picked up a bleeding pen and wrote the darkness;
oh, it was not right for a young girl to write such sadness in life.

   Now, today all my beloved are names engraved,
     yet, I have many happy memories I press to my heart;
       and tons of wonderful friends like precious gems and flowers,
         but still I must write from my soul poems of life and of nature.

Regina Mcintosh September 27, 2019 at 11:59 PM It's sad that you experienced death so young, and that it effected your feelings. I'm glad you have more good memories now and also that you continue to write - Writing is good for the soul. God inspires me - nature, family, friends, creatures, even that sadness and I'm glad you find so many inspirations too. Bless you always.
