I Come From…
I come from words
like love
that jumped
from my dad’s eyes
to my mom’s,
and integrity
that was woven
into my character
the way
my mom pulls yarn
through her cross-stitch
projects.
I come from the garden
of kindness
and caring.
I come from words
like seeds
and grow
in the paragraphs
of life.

Lovely, the way you've written this
legacy of love and words. I too
come from these words. Thank you,
Linda.
simply beautiful! this is one of my favorite poems from you! and i can also remember the one about teaching a kid who started acting out as being quite good..
i love how you say you come from words.. and paragraphs! luscious!
I love the way you say you grow in the paragraphs of life...
Very nice! Growing in the paragraphs is a fine way to move along!
I grow into paragraph's beautiful, stories half told, many untold and told.
Lovely one here.
Very nice take on the prompt. Thanks.
You always nail it, in so few words. A beautiful love story that produced an amazing poet!

Linda, this is just beautiful. It hooked me in from the first line and drew me in. It left me smiling.
very Very well said, and what a lovely way to see the prompt.
Wow, very beautiful tribute and explanation of why you are an English teacher in the last stanza. Thanks for your kind comments. I know that my writing is undisciplined and lacks polish. It means a lot that you would give me a passing grade.
Wow, you expressed so beautifully in a short poem what I couldn't verbalize in 1000 words.
Fabulous.
Well put. We all know that we are not made of cells and genes so much as we are made up of experiences and gardens. Loved it!

I'm glad I got to read this poem. To me this is true poetry. every stanza a gem.
what a delicious thing to come from love that jumped from your dad's eyes to your mom's --- beautifully put and soooo original!!!!!
I do like this one - especially 'integrity ... woven into my character the way my mom pulls yarn through her cross-stitch projects'.
Original and beautiful. That first stanza was awesome!
Very nice! I think my favorite is your description of integrity begin woven into your character the way your mom pulls yarn through her cross-stitch projects. Beautifully written.
This was so beautiful...it moved me deeply. The simple ways you described where you came from gave it that much more power.
Your choice of words is dashing! Thank for this poem, it is very beautiful!!!
sweet poem. Liked the first stanza - gives a cosy feeling.
