To My Poetry Soup Family
i wrote my first poem at
twelve
standing on the school
stage and reciting it
gave me pride and
passion for what i knew
was a gift
mama wrote it in her dairy
but grandma thought i
was a hobby that wont
earn money
but my notebook and my
pen were my best friends
every word in it was
alive to me
my sister and friends
love what i write
but i still hungered to be
in a family who love to do
what i love to do
and who knows and
understands how much
poetry really means
am grateful for my poetry
soup family
and i hope they know
what this means to me
