The Stanza Of Mildred Brown

by Jonathan Dean

Growing up, living a life will always be interesting.

I grew up in a house with sister and brother,

Moved around a lot, whether it's changing houses or biking through town,

But no matter the struggle my childhood was good.

Reading is a world beyond our own,

It can bring us from the depths,

Or let us soar to new heights,

Little is known why we are here,

But I am here to read.

Standing up for yourself is something everyone knows,

What you believe in makes you who you are,

Weather it is your passions,

Your friends, or family,

Or anything,

Standing up for what you know,

Is something you must do.
