Who Do You Think I Am

Life is much bigger than I imagined it could be,
There is more beyond the horizon of Hope through my Faith.
I am Uniquely made as seen by the different shades of me 
With the out -bursting of colors depicting a side that some 
May never know - happy and gay, rejoicing, celebrating, funny, 
hilarious, witty, caring, loving, appreciative, satisfied.

Strong of character but often self-willed, and usually turn the "other 
Cheek" too.
Reminiscing on good things in bygone days and share  
Experiences, direct and indirect which propels the renewal of thoughts 
of what could still be done, 
By using learned knowledge and skills in other ways, I 
Create, evolve, develop and initiate whatever God directs me to do.

I cannot imagine how vast a prospect God's Purpose is for me,
But I do remember that Life is much bigger than I imagine it could be!
So, I regurgitate past achievements to Capture the color and mix,
To be a fit in Society's go-getting World!

Emulating the Lord when He asked: "Who do men say that I am"?
I use the gift of penmanship to excavate what got hidden inside of me.
I endeavor to search deep within and skillfully share in philosophy,
Humanity, nature, emphatic for emotional and physical pain.
Look deep into my soul and glimpse what God sees
Simplicity does not mean "Walk All Over Me."

My pen gliding over the page as I write, can tell from images 
"Painted" the true quality of me.
It establishes a "blueprint" like in the DNA when mRnA transforms 
And transcribes " messages". So like the pens of Poets I opt to portray 
The best of me, striving for that Perfect point to be 
Released through the "window" of expertise that God loaned me.

God too is engaged in poetry as some Psalms of David show.
Like Reverse Mortgages He loans gifts and talents by beginning from the 
first to the last. Thus, his subjects display talents with youth and taper 
off with age.
Even switching from skill to skill, the "blueprint" is the same DNA.
What I develop, evolve or initiate, the background is the same!
