This Is Who I Am
I’m quirky and smirky yet tender with affection,
dorky at times, a little flirty with my hubby.
I love the feeling of a real genuine connection,
an get down and dirty even though a lil’ chubby.
I feel with my heart on my sleeve without reprieve,
know not of jealousy but kindness and empathy.
Sometimes my sarcasm is so hard to believe,
though I am enriched in hope and sympathy.
I laugh too loud and snort out my Polish nose,
cuz’ to me life can be seen as too darn funny.
I know a secret maybe no one else knows,
it’s that I find no importance in money.
Forgiveness may not come very easy to me,
my pure soul has been burned a time or two.
But in time I am known to bestow gentle mercy,
but you only get three chances then we’re through!
My faith runs deep and sometimes I lose sleep
over my daughter and her anxious mind.
But she talks me sincerely and those secrets I keep
because a good relationship with a child is hard to find.
I'm a gifted writer and a bloody nail biter,
I say things sometimes I don't really mean.
There are times I am weak, sometimes a fighter,
but in those times in life I prevail and redeem.
Honesty and loyalty are of importance and value,
they are the two things that I yearn for in life.
I’m the best mother, daughter, sister and friend to you,
and of course… I was born the most loving wife.
You want to know who I really am, huh do you?
Well I’ll say in a few simple words to you today.
I am a woman who loves fiercely and pray you do too,
because with love in life there’s no room for dismay.
So be kind to me I’m very intensely sensitive
and if it’s okay with you I’d like to stay that way.
I live for today and to others love to give,
maybe more should be like me in the world today.
