Steps of My Life
Reign B. ----- Age 9
From the publication
"From Wandering Minds, from Magic and Pretend"
I am from that big bright light in the hospital to my mom’s arms.
I am from chilling on a big purple couch in my mom’s room.
I am from SpongeBob and melodies while I want to sleep.
I am from complaining that my dad snored too loud.
I am from spicy mint gum on the way to school in the car.
From wearing a uniform every day to school.
From second grade drama.
From crying for my mom at sleepaway camp.
From my ancestors, who I’ve never seen before.
From me, precious me in the clouds of my dreams. Oh me, me, me.
