Who Am I

Who am I? What do I need from you? You could start by acknowledging I exist. You could stop trifling with me. You could take me serious. I am not background noise. I am something to cherish. For I am the promise of a better today. I am the urge to move beyond your past. I am the trust two lovers feel. I am the belief that anything can be accomplished. I am the dream you have for a better life. I am the spirit of great words yet unsaid. I am the possibility of great deeds yet undone. I am the vow you take to make other people stronger. I am the anticipation a young child feels. I am the chance to do what is meaningful. So who am I? I am all these things And more. I am... what you want to be. I am hope. I am opportunity. I am the beginning of each new day. The End *For those who might be interested. I will be posting my cartoon 'Bob's your Uncle' on my homepage. A new one will appear every second day.
