I Am

I am a face hiding behind a computer screen I am maybe the one you search for in your dream I am compassionate and for other’s I care I am generous and with you I’d share I am a mother, sister, daughter, wife I am a friend to some I have known all my life I am small but have a big heart I am scared to lose my parents - I dread us being apart I am considered to have a good sense of humour I am British that’s the truth it's not a rumour I am happy to listen to others and share a pot of tea I am proud to say I am simply me I am female 11~06~14 Contest: I am Sponsor: Frank Herrera

Dear Jan, I see a sweet, caring generous woman who wears her heart on her sleeve and does not stint to give time and help to all those around her, even to the detriment of your own health. Your humor and friendship has endeared you to all. " I am proud to say I am simply me" and rightly so. Because myself and many others are proud to be able to call you our friend. " A friend may well be reckoned the masterpeice of nature." (R.W. Emerson) Van Gough could not match what nature has made in you.

Beautiful narration of different facets of human. So many roles a man or woman has to play in life. Nice rhyme scheme maintained in your poem.

Jan, you have been nothing but nice and sweet...compassionate and understanding towards me. I really can't tell you how much I love that about you. You're one of the few who wrote to me personally to ask about my absence. I never have to wonder whether you are genuine or not....You are simply transparent and what I see is beautiful. I do want to thank you for your friendship...especially during this difficult time for me....Bless you, sweetie.
