I Am

I am something you hold when you miss, And I am forgotten all but a gentle kiss! I am the cold draft when you’re all alone. And I am the smile that generates your happy home. I am something for nothing but I’m more than most. And I am your summer breeze, I am your host. I am the tear that falls from your eyes, And I am the light that outshines your lies. I am the flutter in your beating heart, And I am the breath that gives you a fresh start. I am the lump in your throat when lost for words, And I am the silence you have always heard. I am the warmth traveling in your blood, And I am the memory you instantly flood. I am the dream you’ve always had, And I am the one with you happy or sad. I am the one that always told you so, And I am the only person you positively know. I am taken and given because I just am, And I am exactly what I am, And not even by you will I be jammed! © Copyright Ann Rich 2006
