Notes About The Poem

Bio Poetry Contest- Sponsor Brian Strand

Selfie

I was an orphan left at a doorstep when I was just two 
And I'm also a brother to a sister that I never knew 
I am now a husband, and a father, and a grandfather too!

A very heartbreaking line: "I was an orphan left at a doorstep when I was just two." Charles, you are amazing men in all you do. Nicely done. Congratulations on your win in Brian's Selfie contest.

Life can begin disastrously. But one can avert ill luck with kindness.
