I Am I am gentle and loving I wonder what exciting adventures the future holds I hear a symphony in my beloved wife's voice I see a bright and shining tomorrow in my daughter's smile I want to grow old, surrounded by my loved ones I am gentle and loving I pretend that there is a Woman in the Moon I feel her embrace me, when I am sad I touch her light, and my spirit is renewed I worry that one day I will forget how to see her I cry when she dimishes, and rejoice when she is full again I am gentle and loving I understand that friendship is priceless I say my friends are all important parts of who I am I dream of a world where we each see everyone as our friend I try to share this vision with others I hope that peace on earth will become a reality I am gentle and loving © Troy J Hoecherl All Rights Reserved Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

Excellent.  Challenges are eye opening sometimes. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

~Troy~ This is a perfect poem for the challenge! Thanks for sharing this. The lines "I hear a symphony in my beloved wife's voice and "I see a bright and shining tomorrow in my daughter's smile" are beautiful. You are also a talented poet! Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

Troy, I think this is the first of the "I Am" poems I've read (haven't had much time of late) but my goodness what a lovely gifting this is! Your description of who you are is So nice...and I love your woman in the moon image...thank you for sharing this glimpse into "you." ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
