My Twenty-Two Years
In my twenty-two years
I have never been to college
I have never had a steady job
I've never found a cure for the common cold
I've never invented a much needed gizmo
In my twenty-two years
I have never saved someones life
I have no life long childhood friend
I've never been the popular one
I've never been rich enough for some
But in my twenty-two years
I can say I've made my mother proud
I've got a high school diploma
I have my own poetry published
I have survived this long in this world
In my twenty-two years
I have married my one true love
and most inportant of all
I've made miracles
My two sons
