I Am

I AM
I am the cool breeze playing through your hair
I am the soft whispers of the flower petals against your ear
I am the tree standing heroically above the fields grasses
I am the sun shining victoriously over the night
I AM

I AM
I am the face you caress in your time of love 
I am the hand you squeeze when you are scared
I am the one you hug when you are joyful
I am your love
I AM

I AM
I am the independent woman before you
I am the one who has survived their hate
I am not the "lady" sipping her tea
I am the strong, independent woman God made
I AM ME
