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

Eve, I like your motif of "I am touched - I once touched". Nicely done for an authentic and emotional grounding of who you are, coming from who you have been. And isn't it true that we are largely defined by the loved ones in our life? You captured all of this so nicely. Congratulations on your win in Andrea's contest. Hugs ~ John
