“I AM”


I am humbly searching for my heart
and souls contentment.

I wonder if I will ever be able to make
some kind of difference in the world.

I hear my soul groping for loves
return to me.

I see Mother Nature and delight in her
ability to open the hearts of mankind.

I want to know I gave of myself whole
heatedly to all I could before I die.

I am humbly searching for my heart
and souls contentment.


I pretend to breathe a sigh of relief because
the world is in a state of complete peace.

I feel life is passing me by and I will
never really experience true love.

I touch a delicate rose and see the love God
has for all of mankind.

I worry that mankind will destroy the
earth before he learns humility.

I cry for all of the souls that didn’t experienced
true happiness before there passing.

I am humbly searching for my heart
and souls contentment.


I understand what it is to be lonely and
afraid.

I say all of mankind should walk in the steps
of his enemy.

I dream of a world that knows what true
contentment and joy means.

I try to help all of those that cross my path
with what ever means I have available.

I hope that all of the things mentioned in
this poem would come true.

I am humbly searching for my heart
and souls contentment.
