Mom Who Am I
Am I a duck that swims in the lake? Am I a truck that has lost its brakes? Am I a tadpole
swimming upstream? Am I the things at night that I dream?
NO MY CHILD
Am I a cat that meows out loud? Am I that silent person in the crowd? Am I that tree
standing amongst other trees? Am I those flying birds and the bees?
NO MY CHILD
Am I the rock that falls down hill? Am I the person who pays all the bills? Am I the sun that
shines in the day? Am I the stuff potters call clay?
NO MY CHILD
Am I never going to rise to the top? Am I going only so far and stop? Am I never going to
strive to be all that I can? Am I just running this race just to say that I ran?
NO MY CHILD
Am I going to stand if people treat me mean? Am I going to remember that I am a King or
Queen? Am I going to take my place in life? Am I going to grow up and have a husband or
wife?
YES MY CHILD
Am I going to cry all the time? Am I never going to dance when I listen to the chimes? Am
I like the rain that falls from the sky? Am I like the desert that is very dry?
NO MY CHILD
Am I going to go to unknown places? Am I going to win alot of races? Am I going to fall
down and get back up? Am I going to have goodness fill my cup?
YES MY CHILD
Am I going to be all that I can be? Am I going to treat people the way they treat me? Am I
going to seek wisdom when I can? Am I going to grow up to be a Godly woman or man?
YES MY CHILD
I am going to remember familiar faces? Am I going to be a Lawyer and try difficult cases?
Am I going to love with all my heart and soul? Am I going to love others when their love for
me grows cold?
YES MY CHILD
Am I going to honor my mother and father? Am I going to do it even when times get
harder? Am I going to have some bumps and bruises? Am I going to travel on fancy
cruises?
YES MY CHILD
Am I going to do the impossible things? Am I going to do those things that the eyes have
not seen? Am I going to be successful and be at the top? Am I going to keep trying and
never stop?
YES MY CHILD
