An autobiography
So simple a task
I thought to myself
At the end of the class
When I returned home
I stared at the page
And all that jumped out at me
Was my Name, Sex, and Age.
I thought it would be easier
And more enjoyable as well
If I set my words to rhythm
As my life, to you I tell.
This year marks my entry
Into the fourth decade of my life
I’m a mommy, a daughter, a sister
An employee, an ex-wife
The 5 sisters I have
Are now my best friends
I know whatever happens
They’ll be there in the end
Mom was a housewife
Loving and kind
Dad died when I was 11
But is often on my mind
Pop is my step-dad
Though I detest that term
He’s nothing but amazing
Gentle, yet firm
Roy was my husband
But we weren’t meant to be
We remain very close
A best friend he is to me.
We share a beautiful miracle
A treasure straight from Above
She is my pride and joy
Taught me the meaning of true love
Sheridan is the name
Of my precious little girl
Weighed only 1 pound and 11ounces
When she came into this world
2 Nephews-Chris and Keith
Katie and Kristie are my nieces
As you can tell family is important to me
They are life’s biggest pieces.
There are lots of things that I enjoy
My hobbies are not few
Reading and writing poetry
My favorite thing to do
Cross-stitch keeps the stress down low
While dancing makes me smile
Singing I might crack a glass
But I attempt it once in a while
My history of employment
Right now, or what I’ve done?
I was a bookkeeper, a receptionist
Waitressing was fun
Head teller at the bank of Fleet
Cashier, and office slave
But my number one occupation
Is teaching Sheridan to behave.
Right now I work full time
At APX Technology
Assorted tasks, faxes and files
Have been assigned to me.
Totally different from what I’ve done
A nurse…a dream for me
Are you asking yourself why?
It’s as simple as can be…
As a girl I was burned quite severely
In the hospitals I stayed
It was the nurses who sat next to me
Who made me well, while I played
They took care of me in many ways
Not just physically
They touched my heart, my mind, my soul
They treated all of me
When Sheridan was born so little
So fragile and so small
It was the nurses’ hands who offered comfort
They helped us through it all
I want to say thank you
To give some of what I’ve gotten
Because the loving heart of a nurse
Will never be forgotten.
I know it from experience
I’ve been where patients lie
To comfort and take away their pain
Wipe their tears if they cry
To help them forget they’re sick,
To try and make them smile
To care for them, to make them well
To be a friend for a while
That’s it…my life
My autobiography
I hope you have more insight
On what’s it’s like being me

Col,
That really was a great poem and I am sure that you passed your assignment. I have no interest in medicine but it makes me want to be a nurse! Even if there are 100 steps to wash your hands! I hope all is well. See you soon.
Love,
Megan |

| as always great poem just a thought though maybe you should reread things like this that comes from your heart and it might jolt some common sense back into your life and be able to put things backin the right priortiy again. |
