This Is Who I Am

Brother, Lover, Poet, Freelance writer, Son, Grandson, Nephew, Godfather too. Christian in transition Whose life changed in so many positions Through so many persons and faces Changing from many places. Dreamer of dreams Poet of the extreme A deep thinker of thoughts and ideas. Undercover comic relief A man who had its share of sorrow and grief, Walker of many miles, And who puts on many smiles. I'm no ego tripper But a man who reaches for the Big Dipper, Commanding dreams to come true And a person who also encourages you. People lover never undercover But face 2 face with you A thinker so deep like an ocean blue. A dreamer who goes beyond the stars No matter how deep or how far This is who I am! I maybe a gem in a rough place But I am the person with that face You'll never forget But in time your mind will set On the things I told you And all of this is surely true Of who I am to me. Child of the '60's long ago i write these verses to let you know Of who I am so listen well As I finish this to tell For this is who I am! Black Man Trying to do what's right in this land For this is who I am This is who I am! (C) 2006
