Inheritance Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Inheritance



Momma and daddy was all about hand-me-down livin',
lookin' back, followin' tradition;
the old ways from olden days and generations before.

A lead weight inheritance it was,
to a child's eager feet trying to embrace its future;
anxious to run and follow her own gods home.

But, it was that age old struggle
of the generations
that grew and strengthened my wings.
