Michelle’s Poetry
Experiencing Italy
Greetings, from Rome,
the most beautiful place on Earth.
Meeting the pope
was a highlight of my trip.
Pope Francis is kind
and said a prayer with me.
Famous buildings and art
everywhere.
Good Ole USA
A place where anyone is able to work
make money,
help themselves to be secure.
A place where everyone
is able to go to school
and is allowed freedom of speech.
A Beautiful Place
Always happy,
no fear or tears.
No death.
No glasses,
walkers, canes or
wheelchairs.
My foster brother Mark,
my foster parents and
my grandparents are there.
I will hear the
angels and saints singing.
The air will be fresh and clean.
God is preparing
a place for me in Heaven
and it is beautiful.
I Blossomed
My Dad gave me
up for adoption.
It was hard.
My Mom didn’t know and
I didn’t know where I was.
I was eight years old.
I found my Mom.
I understood what happened
and I looked for relief.
After counseling,
I didn’t feel angry anymore.
I grew up, got married and
became independent.
Like a beautiful flower,
I blossomed.
