I Cursed the Farm

I Cursed the Farm

I Cursed The Farm
and the 15 miles
that stretched
forever
between it
and my dreams
of gymnastics,
ballet,
and later on,
the teen parties
I thought I’d die without.

Now…
I thank the farm
for its sweet hay
on golden hills,
for potatoes,
tomatoes,
Dad,
Mom,
my daughter
and for everyone
who lives and loves
up there and everywhere.
