All my life I have known I was different, and bullying was part of my childhood and teen years, awful cruel words have followed this girl into adulthood, but deep down inside I have a strength unfathomable and unbroken, for I am one with the EAGLE, I am . . .Ojibwe __________________________ October 12, 2017 Poetry/ABC/I Am . . .

How beautiful an expression of life from one who has overcome. It gives me great comfort to know that you too have the spirit of the eagle. My walls are adorned with them and the verse in the Book of Isaiah is my constant reminder of God's mercy. It can be found in Isaiah 40:31 and I rely on it daily.

Wonderful, Constance. I need to be creative like you and try a short form for this topic which seems so difficult for me!

This is a remarkable write my friend, to be free with the wind, and to fly in the air is a wonderful trait to have! May you always be able to fly Constance, and fly high to write beautiful pieces such as this one! Great Work!!
