I AM
Amy M. Kennedy

I am a young woman searching for my way
I get lost sometimes in the tangle we call life
But I never give up, keep fighting every day
Though sometimes it gets hard, i fight through the strife

I am a young woman searching for my way
Rolling with the punches, I keep my head held high
Never from my purpose in life will I stray
I always have been told, I can do anything if I really try

I am a young woman searching for my way
Never really pay much attention to what others say
I work hard, and play even harder
And I think my experiences in life have made me a bit smarter

I am a young woman searching for my way
Some days greet me with blue sky, some are more gray
However, I have learned in my short twenty three years
Don't let things get you down, don't give in to your fears

I am a young woman searching for my way
Some call me sunshine girl; I must give off my own ray
I have been so blessed in this life, time and time again
And like the willow trees by the lake, I won't snap...but I will bend

I am a young woman searching for my way

Amy,
    this poem shows the confidence with which you face life. . . with your head held high and the openness to learn from it.

Great poem!!

Amy, it is a rare pleasure to meet you, and to know you better.  Think not of the many ways which lie before you...think of the adventure each contains.

This is a wonderful poem -- I can see

Amy,
What a way to look at life. You really do shine brightly on this one. Keep that head of yours up.

All my love,
Jeffrey
