Who I Am
I may never be famous, a hero, or be in a history book
Some people don't take the time to give me a second look
But I live my life as if each day were my last,
I teach others how to grow stronger from their past.
I take time for children that think no one will care-
No matter how busy I am, if anyone needs me I am there.
Open ears and willing to listen when someone needs to talk,
Carry another if they are too weak to walk.
Hope to teach what it is to give- maybe the power to live.
Volunteered for handicap, youth, nursing homes, hospitals to
Watching as I have helped others make their dreams come true.
Believe smiling is contagious- attempt to spread it each day
Giving myself gives me more in an unexplainable way.
My friends say I am the party and I give off a light
Even when things are not good for me- I say I am alright.
Love others good times and bad- smile even when I am sad.
I have learned the path for me is looking rather straight,
And when I die- Heaven will open the gate.
Always room for another angel- live for others not you-
I would be delighted if you would follow my path too.
