The time is coming near when I will have to strikeout
with nothing but the gifts of God
and to make from nothing else my own home.
To make from nothing else my own life
I cannot and will not break all ties to my family
for they were and are good and kind to me
but I desire to stand and be able to say
I made this place
I made this life
I am more than my father's son
I am more than my mother's child
and more over I am neither of them
I am a different beast
different than all the Miles', Thomas' and Prices
that came and will come
yet I am one of them
And at least among those names
if not among others my name will ring across the generations.
