This Is Me

A little bit of me Goes a long way Lucky you get to see today How this came to be I grew up sheltered and shy I don’t know why I was always quick to cry Quiet and self-conscious, oh my Then came along my high school years I finally broke out of my shell It was only a matter of time that would tell How far I put away my old fears I’m a married mother of two Who always has something to do Yet I always make time for you Forever open to trying things new Practical jokes and a funny line My goal to make others happy and smile Keeping my friends and family on their toes is my style Occasionally spirited by a glass of wine My caring and sensitivity side shows As my open mind and heart always grows To come to me for anything, everyone knows Or just to read my words where compassion flows Best of all is to myself I am true Learning from the past and things I once knew Living my life for me in all that I do So I may love myself and love you too
