The last poem I crafted

The assignment to form the Chadwick Family Reunion Planning Committee was presented to me in a way that sparked a need for a secret online journal in an entry dated 17 September 2008. I created a threefold mission of which I will share tonight.

I. creating an anchor where love and communication exist (in reference to our family networking site)
II. arrival and hello my name is
III. separation (and what do we do next?)

in order for this poem to be relevant, everyone must participate by inserting themselves as i mention "I"

I. creating an anchor where love and communication exist (in reference to our family networking site)

i birthed you because i loved you-i knew creating your backbone would spell s.t.r.e.n.g.t.h. i accelerate your growth by sending love prose through your bones. i create exceptional circumstances through h.o.p.e. i've named your space possibility and passion. i created you as future forward- for a way to create and believe in true love.

II. arrival and hello my name is __________________

i have arrived, and safely. i am nervous from the numerous untold stories that will emerge from my voicebox. i am beginning to understand correct enunciation of words, placing the value of my life as a familial contribution. i form sentences on the edge of my tongue-waiting for them to fall into the waiting soft ears of my family. we hug real big, our hands archiving love in smalls of back, fingerprints leaving traces of brown safe love.

III. separation (and what do we do next?)

i have created a resignation letter for my current life at home. i have shed any chance for return through misplaced car keys, abandoned air fare and missed carpools. i have forwarded my mail to martinchadwickfamily.ning.com where we share letter openers and "reply to all". i open my mouth to form the words iii am soooo glaaaad to beeeeee hoooooome. i am a pattern master for my new life, which i engrave in the hearts of those i love. i only can wait in the shadows for everyone else to turn the corner and join me. i patiently wait and love, because i can not thin of anything better to do.

i form my lips to say i love you, this soon.
