Look, Mamma, It's Me!

Assignment:  “Finish the Sentence, then begin a poem using a simile/metaphor/analogy you have written.

Sentence:  You were my parents, by you were really......me.




      Look, Mamma, It’s Me!


The longer I live, the more I see

That the older I grow,

The less I am me.

And the less I am me, 

The more I am you.


Pity my poor daughters, too

Who don’t know it yet, you see

(Although you and I do....)

The older the two of them grow,

The more they’ll be me.  And you.
