Shirley Hawkins Poet List

I Am

I am a woman (not Helen Reddy)
I am from London
I am uneducated
I am an individual
I am unique
I am passionate
I am trustworthy
I am forthright
I am concerned for others
I am often away with the fairies
I am curious
I am sentimental
I am a romantic
I am all these things and more
I am ME like us all a miracle of birth
    THANK GOD
