I Am That I Am
Line of Inquiry
" a heartbeat pulsating a living light
free from each and every limitation
I Am that dwelling in unbound delight
the source wherefrom arises creation"
A bio about me, I’ll write down today
I’m an old aging woman, what more can I say?
But how did that happen, yesterday did I see
In the mirror a young girl, I’d swear she was me.
No wrinkles or crow’s feet, dark hair with no grey
But somehow has vanished, she was not there today.
Instead, just an old girl, who must have been she
So, I smiled at her broadly, and she smiled back at me.
But with age too comes wisdom, one gathers through life
Don’t think I would swap it, I’m a grandmother, mum, wife.
Though my youth may have passed by, there’s so much I’ve gained
I’m content now with my lot, and all I ‘ve obtained.
My husband’s a winner; a good bloke is he
Though at times I might nag him, he lets me be me.
My three children are my rocks, I can count on each one
To me they’re my diamonds, and they love their old mum.
My interests are varied, I read books, go to gym
Lift weights, and do push ups, just to keep myself trim.
I did have a good job, was nurse for some years
I’ve delivered a new babe, with joy through my tears.
For years I taught students, what a good nurse should be
Have compassion and caring, both things are the key.
And always treat fairly, the down and the out
Be never judgemental, of what they’re about.
I’m grateful for blessings, good fortunes received
A unique individual, from the first day I breathed.
So, when I now look back, I’ve naught to complain
And yes, if you asked me, I’d do just the same.
