As I am reading a book for my Multicultural class this poem struck me in many ways... so wanted to share it:
Looking From The Edge
by Elizabeth Capifali
on 10-12-94
As I stand on the periphery of life around me
I ask myself, do I not deserve to partake of the sweetness of this land?
I've asked myself this question ever since I was a child,
But, a HAND always kept me at a safe distance.
"DO NOT TRESPASS" always seemed to be the message.
I have leaped into the enveloping arms of life waiting for me and I am Living!
Still, hands try to hold me back, but I am stronger no,
I push them aside and say, "Let me in."
