Who Am I? Poem by Linda Ori
Who Am I?
She's such a cutie, the neighbors would say
That little blonde girl with the curls,
So strange to see brown eyes with blonde hair, they said
I guess I was strange even then
My sister had black hair and eyes that were green
A beauty if ever you saw one
Even my father called her 'the queen'
But I was the one that was different
You look like your father, people would say
I guess they considered that kind
But I always wanted to look like my mom
With dark hair and eyes like the sky
But now that I'm older and used to myself
I like what I see in the glass
I may not be lovely, or turn many heads
But at least I'm a sensable lass
My father passed on a long time ago
His picture still sits by the window
And it tickles me now that I take after him -
It's the ones who are different that sparkle.
Linda, your writing certainly sparkles... brilliantly done! ! Brian

You will always shine Linda, I have often thought it odd that as you become older you become comfortable with yourself and grow out of trying to impress, you no longer feel it is important to put on any aires or graces, Diamond poem.
