Standing In The Light
This was written during a poetry class at OU.
Written 08/06/99
Standing in the light:
I am sitting on my father's knee.
Standing in the light:
His loving arms close around me.
Standing in the light:
My mother reads me a bedtime story.
Standing in the light:
She sends me to church so I can live in glory.
Standing in the light:
My family is happy and together.
Standing in the light:
We will live in love forever.
Standing in the light:
I am in love and happy.
Standing in the light:
He and I, together forever we'll be.
Standing in the light:
Everywhere I go, I drag my camera along.
Standing in the light:
Everywhere I go, I sing a song.
Standing in the light:
My loved ones by my side.
Standing in the light:
Soon, it will end, this bumpy ride.

| Thank you, Nasr and Debra! I'm glad you both liked this... Of course, it only did the "happy" parts of my life, as this was all about "the light" (which seems a "happy" thing to me!) I kind of like the idea of my writing being like a photo album or slide show. If you like my poetry you should check out my videos, lol! http://www.youtube.com/user/janetteemccrary |

| I agree. You do have a way of writing that makes me think of photo albums or slide shows...quick snippets of a life. Well done. |
