Who Am I?
Reaching higher, pressing in
Longing to know You better
Nothing matters more
Than pleasing You, serving you
I am a child of GodWeeping when you weep
Rejoicing when you rejoice
Praying, encouraging, loving
Seeing you serve Him is my joy
I am a pastorNoticing the white hair
Less energy, more lines
Reaching to remember
A few more aches and pains
I am growing olderFeeling so blessed
When I hear my mom's voice
So glad she is still here
So thankful for her love
I am a daughterI know this man so well
Pledged to love him forever
He is my "other half"
He is my friend, my love
I am a wifeSavoring our times together
Snickering over past adventures
Bound to them by memories
Love and genetics
I am a sisterSo proud, such fierce love
My shining accomplishments
They give me such joy
Love who they are
I am a momSons of my heart
Prayed for you for so long
God sent my girls good men
Glad you are family, too
I am a mother in lawMany pictures on my phone
Ready with the latest story
Heart so full of love
For my darling blessings
I am a grandmaDelighting in times shared
For laughter, tears and tea
You "get me," know me so well
Silly together, sister of my heart
I am a friendWho are you?

I like it. Well written.
I am you except for the Pastor part, we have been blessed with a wonderful pastor though!
well that covers it all.
I can't add anything.
I am still learning about myself everyday and when I journal to myself or God I wonder sometimes if I'm nuts. LOL
This was lovely to read.
A very nice poem! We are different things at different times and to different people! Still the only thing that matters is how God sees me!
I loved this reflective poem. I like thinking about my life and the kind of little boy God created and how I used what He gave me--some not so good, but thankfully there was some good. Finding the Lord at age 30 was a good start on the journey of life.
Hi Mae, so nice to have a visit from you. Sorry I don't visit more often.

I think April is poetry awareness month or something? Anyway, it's what we've been partaking in.
I had seen you wrote this poem of your own, and thought I might try to do one on your theme of Who am I. I've tried thinking of this before. Who am I is hard to put into words. You did this so beautifully.
God's blessings to you,
Lynn
I AM
You wrote the perfect poem.
And your musical guess was spot on!
I hope all is well with you. Things have been very busy with me. I purchased a small building across from Seabreeze to convert into an art gallery/studio/class room. It is truly a huge undertaking, but one I feel very good about. I give thanks to God everyday for providing me with such an opportunity.
That's a smart way of thninkig about it.
I was sitting in church thinking about this when I tarted writing it! Once I started, it was fun.
