I Am

I am the king that cannot born another,
I am the king that make the queen a mother,
I am the whale that gets washed aside,
I am the whale left on the high tide,
I am the lion pushed from the den,
I am the lion never to proudly roar again,
I am the weak excuse of man,
I am the one never to push the pram,
I am the bud that does not flower,
I am the bud that missed that spring sunlight hour,
I am the river that has no head,
I am that river ,that stream,that trickle ,that dry bed,
I am the planet which orbits no sun,
I am the planet where life has not begun,
I am I am I am ......

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
