Self Portrait---A Dreamer, a Schemer

I am one breathtaking moment I am one who is lost or alone I am one raindrop, or one flowering rose I am a distant star or a meadow lark Or one dark cloud that hovers on the horizon I am many memories from a long ago childhood I am many tears and many sorrows I am many rainbows and many seasons I am many reasons to sing a love song Or tell a story, or share the laughter, or feel the glory I am all the colors of our world I am all races, all creeds, the scattering of seeds I am all words unfurled into the light I am all the broken hearts and hopes lost in the night I am all the hurt, all the anger, all the joy, all the love I am all who believe in God above I am all who doubt, thereof I am all who laugh, and sing, and wail and shout I am unleashed with wild emotion I am heartbreak, and devotion I am humble, I am proud Soft as a whisper, the shape of a cloud I am the stepping stone to healing I renew by sharing feelings I am a few unbroken rules, a few enchanting jewels I am the ember, I am the spark ----------- the poet in "me" who dreams in the dark ~ ----------- but this is the real "me" who schemes in the dark I am the neighbor, who brings you soup I am a tomboy, I am a friend I'll lend an ear if you are troubled My favorite food might be ice cream A double scoop, I beg you please? I'll bathe the dog, I give good hugs I rub their backs when they are ill Good music fills my eyes with tears Love hula hoops. Loops in my ears Toss a ball into a hoop and ride a horse, (I have for years) I like to wear my denim jeans, occasionally I'll wear my lace Brunette, of hair, my mother's face I make mistakes....... I won't forsake you Don't buy me a crown, I'm not a queen But I am keen on my clean house I'll not judge you...don't hold a grudge My husband declares that I'll not budge But I can make some awesome fudge I'm small in size......my eyes are blue I'm not a prize..I'll blow a fuse I thrive on loving, I'll love you too And I can fix most things with glue I can stretch a dime, make old things new I love antiques and have a few I've paid my dues.....with ups and downs One ordinary girl........from one small town This may be more than you want to know But that's scoop, ..... I'll say adieu ....! ______________________________________ For Frank's Contest: Self-Portrait
