I WAS ME


First I was me,

Selfish as can be,

Wanting everything from A to Z

And wanting it all for me.


Then I became we,

A part of an us.

I learned to share, give and take

I learned how to trust.


Next I was you,

Believe me it's true.

I would rather give than receive,

It was you I wanted to please.


Now I am them,

A family man.

Giving my children,

All that I can.


If you look real close,

It is easy to see,

I am older and wiser,

And no longer a me.

Part of our agreement with our Rotary Club was that if the club raised over $1,000 we would take pictures and post them on websites. The club raised over $1,700!!! This includes some donations from poets on this site!!!! Thanks everyone - now, off for my walk.
