I Am

Woman – I am touched by womanliness full of emotion Wife – I once touched by my partner in marriage now I dearly miss Mother – I once touched by pregnancies of my children I dearly love Chauffeur - I once touched by driving my family to engagements Nurse- I once touched with caring for my husband and family Artist – I am touched by beauty only I can see and touch Teacher - I am touched with those that I could, can plant an inspirational seed Poet – I am touched with a waterfall of sadness, joy, and love Sister – I once touched by a sister, love the sibling that came into this world Mother In-law – I am touched by those who share their love Grandmother – I am touched with those that mirror my children and so adore Daughter – I was touched by my dad my hero, and still embrace my mother Friends - I am touched by those I hold close a flower bouquet Peacemaker – I am touched by the flame that inspires peace and knowledge Dancer – I am touched by the weightless and encouragement to move Dog-walker - I am touched by wagging, jumping, and licks of embedded love Child of God – I am touched by his presence and inspiration of life I am mixed clay that was once rough as sand, dropped, spattered, and molded I am flawed with the disorder of humanity, forgiven by the drops of crimson 4/28/2020 Poetry Contest: 'I AM: A LIST BIO CHALLENGE' Sponsored By: Andrea Dietrich
