I AM ~~ . . I am question and I am answer I wonder if I was second choice I hear the sands of time I see dancers in a candles flame I want him to really listen to me I am question and I am answer. I pretend to be unafraid at times I feel angels stroke my hair I touch summer when we kiss I worry our time won't be long enough I cry when my love's in anguish I am question and I am answer I understand that we all make mistakes I say that everything happens for a reason I dream that I can still turn heads I try to be self-confident and carefree I hope I'll be remembered with smiles I am question and I am answer . . .

"I wonder if I was second choice..." You know what? The folks were so pleased with the first result, they wanted to multiply their happiness... and then there was you! Bless your heart, for your I Am speaks volumes! |
