Why I Am Me
Why am I not that man standing across the street
Who dresses so dapper, pants creased just right,
He is quite intelligent, charming, and socially wise,
The sort of person everyone I know wants to meet.
Interesting question: Why am I who I am, so unique?
Was it a question of random intermingling genetics
Or, could I have been formed with a greater purpose?
The product of One called I Am Who I Am, whom I seek
And if that is the case, I am here for some special task
I have a reason for being that is especially mine, and
It is incumbent upon me to discover my Creator’s will,
I must formulate questions important for me to ask
If I stay true to myself and my Creator’s perfect Lamb,
Then I shall certainly know, in time, why I am who I am.
