Where to Start

By: Bernetta Smith

 

The sweetness in her voice

could make you shout for Joy.

But love all at once

makes me want more.

 

She looks at me and smiles

and that warms my heart.

Ask her for her story

and shes says,

Where to start?

 

I think about the future

and what it would be.

Did I forget to mention

it was Christmas Eve?

 

So now I think I told you

what my aunt was like.

So now she dead and I’m left

with my story and my life.

 

I know she still watching me

and that warms my heart.

I think about Christmas when she said,

Where do I start?
