I Am

I am one speck in the vast sands of the earth One voice, one heart, one tongue that speaks One cry in the wilderness..... I am many things to many people.. I am daughter, sister, mother and friend Lover and supplicant ... I am all the faces of human kind I am strong, weak, peaceful and angry I am man at his best and worst.. I am few in numbers if truth be told I am a vessel from which words are poured I am a poet......

"I am a vessel from which words are poured I am a poet...." There are not many people who can say that. Those few who do write are very special and you deserve to be among them.... Congrats on your win, Barbara! I really enjoyed this wonderful write!
