Miranda Hawley Poet Free verse

I Identify

I identify as the best
Said the second angel in command,
it is not fair that I don't have
supreme control on demand!

I identify as a snake,
hissed the Father of lies,
I can bring the humans what is missing
I will talk with my voice not hissing!

I identify as the youngest child
said the Shepard boy,
this here is my sling shot
it is only a toy!

What is this I hear?
I just don't understand!
God disagrees with my identity,
and sees a kingly man!

I identify as just a girl
and married I am not,
but I am pregnant with a child
God identified me as a chosen lot.

I identify as Jesus
and I come to the world in human form.
I identify as Jesus
and I will tell you “I Am.”

I identify as broken and tattered,
said the mom whose world was shattered,
but deep in my heart I know
my Father in has has identified me as whole!

Andrea Dietrich October 27, 2022 at 10:14 AM that was pretty cool. I could guess all of them. Those good old church days of my youth taught me so much Miranda Hawley October 27, 2022 at 10:31 AM I too learned the bible stories growing up!

Bill Baker June 18, 2022 at 4:41 PM Amen, let God decide how we identify. Enjoyed your poem, Miranda. Thanks for the visits and comments on my poetry, and thanks for following my poetry. A poet friend in Texas, Bill Miranda Hawley June 18, 2022 at 6:37 PM Glad you like it. I have always had trouble with how to identify, personally. Its always so tempting to identify a person by their profession. He is a trucker, she is a mom, etc! I simply had to bring it spiritual.
