“Product Of My Environment”

By Garren Strong

It made me.

Then it raised me.

Then it gave me. 

Showed me how to grind.

Taught me how to provide. 

For myself and for the ones I call mine. 

I am a product of my environment.

It’s etched into the fabric of my being.

Entwined in my DNA. 

I took L’s along the way. 

It’s part of the journey

But with every loss was a lesson. 

Oftentimes invaluable.

Wrapped in knowledge. 

Soaked in wisdom. 

From the backyard to the field

To the boardroom

You can hear it when I talk. 

See it when I walk. 

It’s my passion. 

And my confidence. 

I am my environment. 

I will always be.
