I Am
Except for docs and pills that work,
I’d know not who I am.
Frightening to learn and bravely see
where I really stand.
I live the person God has made,
a creation striving to grow
and deep within the core of soul
is a purpose I've yet to know.
I am a woman, mellowed with age,
tough times and moments of grief.
But in my spirit God still lives, so
perfection I must seek.
I love the person that I am,
His image personified,
knowing my losses weren't in vain.
God keeps count of all tears I've cried.
And one day in the morning dew
a fresh caress will be,
awakening my strongest self
to the purpose God has for me.
