Adopted Love

I pass onto you

A history.

It's  origin  is not familial;

For, my mother only passed down myths, you see and goblins that only terrified me.

A heritage built on grotesque  creatures mystified me and incinerated my soul

This heritage of mine was what I  had to pass along-

I pass onto you a heritage.

Of picturesque carvings of eternity

Of copacetic surroundings that mark every turn, twist and curve.

Flowing pathways  that perpetuate felicity in the truest sense.

I pass  onto  you  a heritage

That permeates every step taken

With whimsy and fanciful thoughts

Of what tomorrow  will bring,

Of endeavors sure to be pursued,

Of dreams to be followed and treks to be explored...

This I  pass unto you

A legacy that began with our traditions

The interwoven threads connecting  us together for all eternity,

This is our heritage!
