Post 28-Thanksgiving Break

Well I'm all alone here in this apartment. Not much to do but play Bethesda's wonderful new RPG The Elder Scrolls V, do some EVE Online pvp and play matches of League of Legends.

My time is fairly dominated by gaming for the moment. How awesome. Also, POETRY. This one is a POV poem from my grandmother's perspective.

So Very Proud Of You

We're just so very proud of you

For making it so much farther

Than your cousins.

They lost their way,

Unlike you and

Even though it was scary

At times,

You managed to get to college,

And to study,

So every time we talk to you,

We see you've grown

Oh so much.

It brings tears to our eyes

Because your Uncle did the same,

Those many years ago

And while you two had your differences

You moved past that

And now you know your place.

You've got to be the example,

Kid,

And we're sorry for the many roadblocks

You had when you were young.

I'm sorry I slapped you

On that drive,

Your mother is sorry

She couldn't be there

As much as she should have,

And we're all sorry we made you sit still,

Squirming and screaming to be set free.

Can't you see it drove you forward?

And,

Just so you know,

We're all watching you

And hoping you do

Great things

So I can say

“That's my Grandson.”

Come to think of it it's actually quite hard to remember my childhood, even my teen years. So this remains an opinion piece :P
