Another poem from Golda's Blog that I loved so much I had to share it. I always thought my children would be children for much longer. Golda is not even fifteen and she is so capable and driven, she almost doesn't need me the same way. It's not so bad, though. Now I have a friend for life, one I dearly love.
I am from pointe shoes, Windex, and crayons.
I am from music-filled bedrooms and busy kitchen.
I am from the tulips, the windmills.
I am from Imperial Beach and freckles, from King and Dopp.
I am from 6 siblings, and lots of laughter.
I am from "It's just growing pains," and "Practice makes permanence!"
I am from where love is spoken, where scriptures are read.
I'm from Europe, chocolate cookies, and David's Pizza.
I am from the Paris trip and the audition days.
From the ten-year-old trip to San Fransisco,
the emerald pants and the dance costumes.
I am from the old frames, the pictures inside them, and the legacies they breathe.
From the 3 inch scrapbooks and the family blog.
I am from everything that makes me, me.
