Self

Who are you?

Are you defined by your job,

 or maybe the people surrounding you?

Is that you?

Do you constrain your vision,

 avoiding the beauties free to see?

I hope not.

We are all formed by our experiences,

 and choose how we grow.

Each different,

 and still the same.

All trying to find one thing.

A true reflection.

just to see your self.

Who am I? What a thought. Well I'm certainly not someone defined by their job as I no longer work. I am though someone who is passionate about the welfare of her family, who has a love of the natural world and poetry. That sums me up in a nut shell. Good morning Jon.

Once again the sky grows dim when I finally reply.
I need to write more like this.
You learn from their responses.
Thank you.

I try to be the opposite of all the traits I have seen in others and disliked whilst going through my life, and to my daughter, the father I would have liked as my own had he stuck around.
Good morning Jon

Late night for me, but Good morning to you!
Wistful write. I wonder how many look past what they are expected to be. Sounds like you do.

[Gee]

I was raised by a single mother ( 1 of 7) who had the greatest work ethic and mind set of " you've made your bed... " If that doesn't instil in you a desire to get on in life then nowt will.

Helping my mom raise my niece. Better us than her father. Might take her to watch Bohemian Rhapsody tomorrow.

You're a good man. Mum raised my niece and nephew as well as her tribe of 7
