I am Poem & Sense of Place

I am Poem

I am a Daughter, from a broken home. A broken mother and a broken father.

I am a Sister, one of seven, two boys and five girls.

I am a Wife, of my first love, who has been my husband for 41 years.

I am a Mother, of two wonderful children, who are now adults.

I am Grandmother, of three awesome grandchildren.

I am a Student, from first CNM and now UNM.

I am all these people mixed in one

I am Roberta Ann Garcia

I Am From

I am from the suburbs of Moriarty, where the roads are made of dirt and the hills are full of trees.

I am from Deer Valley, where the night skies are full of endless stars.

I am from a home full of people, a husband, a son, and three grandchildren.

I am from a community, where the people still wave and stop if your having car trouble.

I am Blessed!
