Story Of My Life
Secret Letters
Patrisha Atayde
Patience is a virtue that best describes me
As you listen to my poem, I hope you would see
There was a time, about seven years ago,
Reminiscing those days is such a pain, you know?
Is it fair for me that my mom and dad
Said their goodbyes to me? Oh, that was so sad
How long before I can see you again?
Always on my mind, I will wait till then
LIfe went by slowly, for four years straight
On that day, May 1st 2013 that was the date
Reuniting with them after several years,
Really changed my perspective, It brought me to tears
At long last, my redeeming qualities began to show
Independence, patience, and kindness all started to grow
Now to answer the question as to who am I,
Eager, respectful and polite I won’t deny
After all the words that have been said
There’s more to me, this is not the end
Aiming for the stars is what I believe
Yet, giving up too easily is a pet peeve
Did you discover the secret that lies in my poetry?
Each first letter of every line reveals my identity
