Who Am I

“What you see is what you get” is cliché, and not so interesting or so profound. But ask me who I am, I have to say that’s one cliché that I can’t get around! With all my friends I’m honest and I’m real. I love to write, to laugh and just have fun. The things I love to do, I do with zeal. A summer girl am I, bright like the sun! From marriage and the kids - to empty nest, I’ve met with trials and let go some dreams. Religion taught me life here is a test. But one thing changed in me, for now it seems I worry less about the things I “should” be doing. Have I changed for bad or good? For Laura Loo's Any Poem Written On April 4 2016 Poetry Contest Wish it was a better one!!! Written April 3, 2016 for the Who ARE you? Poetry Contest of Catie Lindsey

I personally believe 'what you see is what you get' is such a wonderful way to be. I doesn't mean boring, it simply means 'the expected unexpected'. Honesty and realness is the only way to be... Very nice verse...

"A summer girl am I, bright like the sun' I love that about you. I enjoyed reading this. I just drafted my own poem on this topic. I am not sure it will be ready for the contest. I may have to post it just for the fun of writing.

Oh, I like who you are :) It's strange as we grow older things that were important than are not as important now. We are more selective to what is important......? Thank you for reading my " Sentinel" Hugs dear friend
