I AM FROM POEM
I am from the Edwards and Ellis clan
This is when my life as "Cherisa" began
I am the oldest of four
I have a loving family, there is nothing I want more.
I am from loudness, smiles and laughter
and at times, I get angry, I wonder who I take that after?
Staying up late building club houses out of blankets and chairs
the four of us are probably the reason for my moms random strands of white hairs
I am from "Say your sorry" and "Watch your mouth!"
I have family in Texas, just down south
On Sundays we woke early to go to church
Lost something in my room, thats going to be a weeks search.
I am from the rez dirt
and where I live now, its pretty much the desert.
My family and I are Indians and Cowboys
our house is always filled with comforting noise
I am from the Edwards and Ellis clan
I'm glad God made my family one of his plans.
