about where we come from
and who raised us
who loved us and who didn't
about where we come from
what we've been taught and what we never learned
who loved us and who didn't
what we believe in, who we answer to
what we've been taught and what we never learned
where we have been in life, and where we want to go
what we believe in, who we answer to
if good and lasting things will come to us
where we have been in life and where we might go
and who raised us?
if good and lasting things will come to us
who we are speaks volumes
A pantoum poem, written in class and shared with students, 2009
