I’ve never been through real struggle
I am uniforms and a high school campus
I am a house in Avalon
I am skiing in Utah, Colorado or Vermont
I am golf at country clubs
I am a loving family and a full stomach
I used to be church, void of meaning
I used to be a weak relationship
I used to be lost, but now am found
I am now a chain with a saint
I am not one of pews but am one of faith
I am not one of Sunday mornings but,
I am one of prayers and crosses
I am one of a strong relationship
I am all of those things mentioned before
But most of all, I am a Christian
I like how you went from the things that you physically have to the things that you have such as religion. I thought this really made this poem very deep and meaningful.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that these things become part of you, so you refer to them as "I am x, and I am x." This makes the poem more effective at describing yourself. I also noticed that you sampled Amazing Grace, which connected the things that were presented to you, and the religious things to you
