The Heidi Carson Story

Let me captivate your attention with a most fascinating tale,
Of an enthralling, youngish woman, whose story must set sail.
Ironically it begins in a New Brunswick city were one would only get stuck,
If sailing was attempted in Moncton, “land of the mucky-muck.”

Born a snowy winter’s eve, her parents Christmas gift in ’79,
Heidi’s family grew quickly two years later, with two girls born at the same time.
So Heidi, April and Angela began to grow up, you see,
With an average house, and average car, a dog and a cat named Missy.

Heidi’s hobbies developed quickly, a love for people, music and outdoors,
Later reading, writing and a love for children were developed more and more.After graduating from high school, a tough decision had to be made,
A teacher? A writer? A researcher and traveler? These dreams would never fade.

Now she finds herself at UNB doing joint honors in History and English,
She’s writing and reading, researching and travelling but no, she’s not finished.
Her love for children still burns strong, her love for teaching too,
So she’s working at a concurrent BED in elementary, another dream coming true.

Barefoot and pregnant are hardly on the horizon but maybe one day down the road,
A love for family, children and a special man in many years MAY become another goal.
But for now the dream-chaser runs alone meeting and embracing new things,
Overcoming struggles and living her utmost desires~ her feet dance and heart sings.

Just recently she read a book of short stores by W. Somerset Maugham,
A lovely collection of enjoyable reading when there is not time for anything long.
Tarzan, was the latest film which brought her to the theatre door
With her adorable little friend Ellie, a lovely young lady of four.

Nineteen years of stories are etched in the footprints on my Sandy beach,
The exciting coastline stretches onward, to which I happily reach.
May the thrills of life and young spirit always keep me as free.
As the wildly crashing, thrashing, unatamably mysterious sea.
