Who I Am

Posted on August 12, 2011 | 18 Comments

Being the sum total of so many boys and men
It’s almost impossible to answer with a pen
Yes a pencil and eraser is what I’ll truly need
To change each answer after I done each deed

To reach the growth of where I now stand
You have to climb up and down some stairs if you can
Milestones round every corner and straight way
I grew a little more outside myself you could say

Every turn may require a question from you
You may as well grab my hand so we can talk to
Putting on paper an answer that is so unique
I dare you to try before you and I speak

We really are a combination of so many people. We carry with us all of the ‘people’ we were in the past of different ages! Erasers don’t wory very well though, I’ve found!

  They do smudge and sometimes tear the paper. Thank goodness for the delete key on the computer..

I hope you grow inside yourself.
my prayer is that you stay
true to the you that knows
the spirit of your own special way.

Who else can you be but you?
peace brother
