THE MAKING OF MYSELF
by
Jude Eydmann
Eighteen years ago today,
No words rolled from my thoughtful mind.
Before the fragile steps are made-
Devoid of language, still we learn
Each viewpoint from the crib discern,
Until the feet are free.
Along this road I am alone,
As on the day I saw the scope
Within the garden. Treasure Iies
On sunstruck fence and crumbling wall.
I touched, I heard and saw them all
And now they’re part of me
