I recently came across a poem I had written to tell my story. This was an exercise for a business retreat and it was so interesting to hear where others "came from." I thought I would share my story here.
I am from a small town in Texas, adopted at six days old- Mama, Daddy and me-the only ones in the household. My birth family I have found. But my mom and dad are the BEST, hands down. I am from a Baptist upbringing, conservative you would call. LIBERAL thinker today-Liberty and Justice for ALL. I am friend to many from the days of my youth. My best friend today I met in graduate school. I am from a home where my mom was creative with time to play. Dad was in the oil business and gone many days. I am from many careers from nursing, English and Music. Then 20+years in non-profits and still not a cynic. I am from a lucky plot-escaping the tribulations many face. A loving family and also saved by grace. I am from piano lessons, voice and love to entertain. A life of the party but often I refrain. I am from family dinners, Family Affair lunch box A bedroom always red, including my alarm clock. I am from happiness when I married a cowboy at last. Not proud of decision before him but leave the past in the past. I am from opportunity to be a bonus mom-two girls at that. And long with them, share my heart with 2 dogs and 3 cats. I am proud of today , a heart full of glee I am Ronna...yep, that's me.
