Who I Am
Diane
Aging - gracefully,
contemplating life -
past, present, future,
holding tight to memories -
what was, what is yet to be,
grateful - for everything -
just happy at being alive;
loved
by a brother, sisters, nieces, nephews, my little dog;
lover,
friend, companion, partners sharing, caring, daring, losing
dreamer,
fictionalizing reality for better things,
hoping, working for better outcomes,
fearing irrelevance,
wanting what was that cannot be,
clinging to the dream unfulfilled, life that was
never meant to be;
let me dream
see the past in a better light,
love so deeply it can never die,
be the person I was always meant to be -
just me,
Living, residing in the land
still with remnants of the free
and the brave
thirsting for justice, truth and the American way;
Babbit.
