When I married my husband my daughter was thirteen years old. My daughter was included in the ceremony because we were becoming a family not just a couple. I wrote the poem below to signify the creation of our family and what it meant.
Three sets of eyes to see you as you are,
Three sets of hands to hug and lift you up,
Three smiles to brighten your day,
Three laughs to wash your cares away,
Three hearts that have found a home,
In one family they now call their own.

Who am I? I am a good girl and a wild child all rolled into one. I am a little bit of everyone whose life has touched mine. I have held and hold many roles and titles. I am educated by both life and by halls of advanced education. I am a dreamer of far-flung dreams and a practical person with a firm grasp on reality. I am a human with an abundance of love, curiosity, and hunger. Above all else I am a helper of my fellow humans who hopes when she leaves this world it is a little better for her having been in it.
