Analysis of I am formed from what?
I am nothing very special
Little bits of history, music, art
Deposits from my parents
Their equity of heart.
Their laughter at a story.
Their entertaining yen.
Their ears inclined to listen.
Oh to see them again.
To have a kitchen
Table talk
That settled younger Doug.
That called to faith and patience
And sealed it with a hug.
Some Scottish and some Danish
English, Irish too
And Pennsylvania Dutch
To round out bloodlines
Here for you.
