I was lucky to have grown up in the 50ies era. I lived in a small town, not very far from where Im living now. I never did like traveling! Born at the end of the year, my dad called me his good luck baby. Id like some of that luck to strike me right about now. I have two sisters, one older, one younger, yes Im the middle child. I attended Catholic school Saint Michaels, until high school. It was at St. Mikes that I became fond of poetry. We memorized many. many poems. That was their way I guess, it worked. I love to read the work of the great poets still. From high school to the alter, I married just shy of eighteen. The Lord was very good to us he gave us three of his most precious gift s I had a daughter and two sons. They were then and are now the loves of my life. Now that Im older I see things through a bigger picture window, I dont want to come off sounding like my parents but as I remember it they oft en would say It can only get worse. Looking now through the glass, I would have to agree.
