Who Am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?
Am I a star that twinkles in a far off galaxy?
Am I a rolling river that carries?
Am I a lonely child on an empty street?

Who am I?
Perhaps I am a frog that catches flies?
Or maybe I am a curious kitten?
Perhaps I am the rain in the storm or a calm breeze at sea?

Who am I?
Am I just a young girl trying to fit in?
Am I a lover sadden by guilt?
Am I a lost child?

Who am I?
Perhaps I am the sun all warm and bright; shining on all?
Or maybe I am the starry twilight?
Perhaps I am a one who grieves over death?

Who am I?
Am I a baby wanting my mother’s warmth?
Am I an only child waiting to be loved?
Am I just a cow in the farmyard, or a cat on the couch?

Who am I?
I am a girl who wants to be forever loved.
I am one who wants to learn and grow.
I am a person who loves and cares.

I want to be kissed by the wind when it ruffles my hair.
I want to love another; to feel their everlasting embrace.
I wish to run like the wind upon a horse’s back.
I wish to fly like an eagle; over the canyons.

I am the sun in the spring, the snow in the winter; blustery white.
I am one who feels for others; who comforts.
I am a child of God.
I am a free spirit that never wants to be tamed.

I am the earth when trembled from a volcano.
I am a song sung from one’s lips.
I am the flower’s fragrance in the summer; the lily and the rose.
I am an angel in heaven.

I am a snowy African violet, sitting on a table.
I am a picture of one who looks like another.
I am my mother’s daughter.
I am a candle flame.

Who am I? I am what I am, and that’s all I’ll ever be.
