Hello, my name is Henry Blade. I am 22 years old and I am married
with a daughter. Recently last June, I graduated from Marion Technical College
with an Associated in Business and a concentration in Paralegal Studies. A
unique fact about me is I can sing
The process behind
me composing my poem was one of sincerity and admiration. Once I sat down and
started to focus it all started flowing like a river. When everything was all
said and done, my poem actually surprised me with its quality.
In
Memory of My Uncle
As
I sit here and reminisce
About
the legacy you left behind
All
I can think about is
I
wish you had more time
A
young foster child who knew no father
You
stepped up like a batter approaching the plate
You
were patient as if we were no bother
A
man of courage who’s love did not discriminate
Your
words were gentle
And
your best friend was peace
Wisdom
crowned your head
And
grace covered your feet
You
always voiced to me
“Go
to school and don’t be a fool”
You
taught me a lot about being a man
Most
importantly you’re the reason I treasure school
The Amercian Dream is a dream to be able to have job security, to be able provide for one's family.
I really like your poem. I think that a lot of English assignments are thrown together last minute with little or no thought put into them. However, I can tell that you really put your heart into this poem, and I can feel the sincerety. It's easy to see that your uncle's influence has had a big effect on you. Thank you for sharing your poem with our class. :)
