Parts of Me

A part of me’s a parent.
A part of me’s a wife.
A part of me’s a nana,
All essential to my life.

A part of me’s a sister,
A cousin, niece and friend
And sometimes all these pieces
Seem to overlap and blend.

A part of me’s a poet;
Another part just reads.
A part of me finds travel
Is an outlet that she needs.

The parts all lace together
Tight enough to guarantee
That losing even one of them
Would be like losing me.
