Who I Am

 

"I have built my foundation with life's bricks;
I exist. I am me. And that has been enough. "

                                    Quote by_ Constance

My character traits define who I am,
both inherited morals and life lessons taught;
translating me is like an anagram !
Best, I be good because ... I only get one shot;
but, will not pretend that my life is Camelot.

Trustworthy, honest, respectful and kind,
always polite, friendly, grateful, open-minded;
lover of nature  ... animals inclined !
I am proud, brave, courageous and worldly-minded;
though calm, tranquil and peaceful, I am strong-minded.

I am a dependable loyal friend,
always reliable, encouraging, sincere;
never, ever will I lie or pretend !
But, I will not claim to have no flaws ... lets be clear;
and am not afraid to share them with a sad tear.

I wear my grief like a heavy dark cloak,
and get hurt easily  ...  often melancholy;
cruel life will often leave me heart broke ! 
Though sad emotions my colors are not palely
and I am soon back on life's fast moving trolley

You've proven to me how loyal of a friend you are, Constance. Wear your cloak when you feel the need to grieve, then allow the morning sun, the song of a bird, or the hand of friend to remove it and write what fills your thoughts. Hugs, sweet friend.
