I AM

Having just bought a beautiful new laptop, I am currently in the process of transferring files from the old computer to the new one.  It is pretty exciting revisiting documents, and I have been finding many interesting (for one reason of another) things I have written.  Here is a poem I wrote back in 2007 for one of my college courses.

I Am

Painted in 1999

I am lost on a journey to a known destination

I wonder why God’s timing has to differ so much from my own

I listen for the sunshine in a world that’s raining

I see things as they could be

I want a cottage with a creek, a library with large comfy chairs and a ladder, an orchard with a tree swing

I am a daisy in a bouquet of roses

I am spontaneous – I sing, skip, fly, and laugh for the joy of it

I pretend, to become; and act to gain

I feel God holding me in his hands

I read to escape

I worry when I don’t know the whole plan

I am a garden sprite – I live in a fairy garden

I understand I am not perfect, and I am alright with that

I say what I think when I can no longer stay silent

I dream with my feet on the ground and my head in the 
                                     clouds

                              I try to improve…

                                         I have hope for tomorrow.

                                                                          I am on the road.
