I Am

I am but a simple man, I try to do the best I can. So many things get in my way, I see the challenge of each day. I am just a work undone, I am a child of the sun. As it shines, I grow strong, I struggle, when it is gone. Like a river that always flows, When it rains, my pace grows. I find peace at the sea. It’s the place I long to be. I am much like a flower, Requiring food and a shower. I grow taller in sunlight, I can grow to any height. All these things and many more, I am a wave that greets the shore. When I crash, I retreat, I march to another beat. I am part of all I hear and see, They all make a home inside me. When the moon is shining bright, Darkness part, there is light. I am but see what can be, My hope is vast, like the sea. I become a part of all I say, Something no one can take away.
