My Inspiration
When I was 10 I heard a song that changed my life. I was going through a stage in life where I felt as if I did not belong. I grew up in a foster home (I call her mom even today). I always knew that my mother was somewhere else, but I wanted to know me and felt that I was lost in another world. This song must have been remade by a female artist, but I was not able to find her video or recording, but these are the words that made me want to express myself through verse:
I wonder who paints the skies so blue
Who makes the snow flakes white
Who wakes the sun up every day
And lights the stars at night
Who perfumes all the roses
Early in the spring
And tells each little robin
Just what melody to sing
I wonder how each mother knows
What baby tries to say
Why little children learn to walk
And someday walk away
I wonder why the rainbow
Follows rain and thunder
I wish that I could tell you why
But I can only wonder
These simple words brought life to myself. I began writing and rewriting this song over and over until I was able to find my own voice. I feel that these words were placed on my 10 year old heart so that I can be the writer and the voice that I am today.
