There Would Be No Me

Okay so my writing juices have come back to life. I used to "journal" & write poems, etc. back in the day, but in recent years I haven't done a whole lot. Well, I don't know if it's the Lord or not, but recently have I have felt the creative side of me begin to enjoy writing again. This poem came to be after I snapped a few photos of my MaKayla coloring with her daddy's mom...

Today I thought about

Just how I came to be-

I traced it back to you

On our family tree.

I'm glad you fell in love with Grandpa,

And wanted a family.

And when you started having kids-

You didn't stop at 2 or 3.

'Cuz my daddy's #6

But to me he's #1.

I'm glad you took good care of him,

Because he was your son.

You taught him about Jesus

And now he teaches me.

So the lessons that you taught,

Will be a legacy.

And I will pass them on-

Someday when I have kids.

And I will do a lot of things-

Just like my daddy did.

So there are many things,

That I should thank you for.

I've only named a few,

But there are many more.

But I'm so thankful you had my dad,

Because most importantly-

If you would not have had him,

Then there would be no me!! RFF/11
