Our Some

Below is a poem I wrote trying to understand who I am and where I’m going as my children start to head out on their own.

Our Some

Some say we are the sum of our experiences.

Some say we are the sum of our years.

Some way we are the sum of our relationships.

Some say we are the sum of our dreams.

Some say we are the sum of our work.

Some say we are the sum of our contributions.

Some say we are the sum of our children.

Some say we are the sum of our love.

Some say we are the sum of our doubts.

And some say we are the sum of our debts.

I say we are simply some of ourselves:

changing

growing

expanding

building

creating

sharing & feeling…

our sum!
