heredity gave me my eyes, my face, my teeth, my hair.
Also my father, who looked exactly like me said O’Hare
O’Hare is a fabulous red head, her father was a blonde.
I wondered at that moment, what planet she lived on.

GENES.
Galloping in body
Gain characteristics
Gear up heredity
Govern peculiar traits
Ground parental glimpses
Gaily offspring reflect
Gadget for legacies.

opulent heredity

ostentatious diamond
of on and on and on hope

oakiness imparts favor
originality of kin

Imagery of our childhood,
Way back when, are patterns good?
Did we get the pieces to fit?
Is there closure, to get 'over it'?
We're only humans, can make mistakes,
As forming lives, our oldies shaped--
Environment versus heredity,
What is their true legacy?
Is there no closure on way back when?
Are puzzles really what childhood meant?

Life's Gardener
Multiply thou fruit
replenish thy gardens
beware of the locust
who feast upon destruction
nourish your seeds gently
consume lovely fragrances
show passion to thorns
for they are thy protectors
save flourishing roots
shower them with heredity
so they too may grow
to know of your love.....

Rebecca and Isaac had twins
As different as different could be
A hunter was Esau, a man of the field
A scholar was Jacob, a dweller in tents
The same mother, the same father
the same education, the same home
Yet one stayed put, while the other roamed
The lesson seems clear, for eyes wiling to see
Environment takes a backseat to heredity

The family album from times ago
Has faces I never knew,
Except…for a tint-type I feel I know
From eighteen fifty-two
The mouth is like mine and eyes as well—
Our cheekbones are high--the same;
But he was reputed to pact with Hell,
And shamed our honored name.
And I shrink at the mention of sorcery—
(The Devil’s work on Earth!),
But whisperings in our family
Have shadowed me since birth.

when all truths shall surface will you stand brave by my side
while ignorance still stands impervious to it,s pride
where no litenany or proven disgraces disrupt
those who where it,s been shown are corrupt
our triumph will be conscience and humble worth
for it is written the meek and the earth
liars dancers prophets,from birth were crippled and mute
your tongue your stance your pros
you are the wind to piccolo or flute
i hear you playing can you play what i hear
