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.
