Dreams Like Wealth

I`m from the forest trees
their trunks gazing out at me
their branches hang low as if they were weeping
I am from the flowers in my mothers garden
their sweet and strong scent is divine
their petals are an assortment of colors

I am from the waters of Lake Eerie
the water is calm and is crying my name
the soothing sound of the water hitting against the rocks has stopped
I am from villagers
their wealth is like a dream to everyone

I am from the victorian houses
whose floors squeek and plumbing clanks
I am from my mother and father
whose hearts are filled with care, love, and gentleness
8 at first, down to 6, and up a knotch to 7 children.
the 7th child was me
