Imitation

by Cheryl Merrick

Imitating the diligent homemaker,
     I meticulously clean and organize.
Like a careful accountant,
     I strive to reconcile finances.
And with the devotion
     of an outgoing soul,
     I send out cards and notes.

But hidden behind
     these clumsy imitations,
there lives a loving teacher,
     an eager learner,
     a creative problem solver,
     and a poet.
