An Acrostic for Self-portrait prompt

 PAD Challenge day 7: write a self-portrait poem

Just a simple girl; daughter, sister, mother and wife

Amazed at God’s gifts to the world and my life

Night-owl when seduced by a word or a thought

Educated? By the world’s standards I’m not

That’s me

Rolling pin collector and lover of rhyme

Under the tutelage of a teacher called Time

Thinker, often quiet with sudden bits of crazy

Homebody; my favorite wild-bloom is a daisy

Mother and wife; I am humbled and awed

And oft would run scared, but for patience of God

Rover of coppice, moorland, meadow, grove

Thankful for gardens and laughter and love

Incredibly blessed; undeservedly so

Normal? not really, but by God’s grace I go…
