I am(Challenge)

I am an ocean.
Although emotions flow in and out of me,
I remain essentially the same:
Sweet and loving.

I am a tree.
Branches reaching out to people,
Reaching for acceptance and love.
Reaching for understanding.

I am a book.
Many will not look beyond the front cover,
But for those who do there awaits a magic.
The magic of love, unconditional.

I am a piece of paper.
I have been stepped on and crumpled up,
But my friends ironed out the creases of pain.
I wait to be full of the writings of life.

I am a star.
I burst myself trying to shine my light
Into the lives of others.
My light will live on in the Heavens when I die.

I am me.
I am a unique creation,
Crafted to perfection by the Lord.
I will ever stand proud.

Heya ESP,
Wow, that a deep look into you! I glad this Get to know me thing got off the ground...

Hmm, since you all are mostly MODs, could you find the oringal thread and bump it up, we have many new memebers in the last few days.
PS, love this line

Lovely poem, great work ;o)
It's wonderful to see that you are so proud of yourself, everyone should be. And I love the way you said God has created you perfect. God has made everyone for a purpose, and we are each perfect in his eyes. If only everyone could see that. I know I have a hard time believing it at times, too.
