POEM #27- BYGONES


"Someone"

Folks always said
I was the smart sister,
I'd be someone.

Doctor?
Lawyer?
College professor?

I absolutely knew 
they were right.

And now I've proven it

I'm headed west
to be someone…

A farmer's wife!

Probably a few ranks even lower than teacher, but I'm still proud of her (me) for following her passion!
