I am so many things
If you only knew
You'd see the real me
And know all I can be

I am kind, gentle, caring,
Loving, trustworthy, honorable,
Intelligent, loyal, sincere,
Patient, creative, sensitive,

I am an artist, a poet,
A musician at heart,
Dependable, responsible,
And a true friend

Once I let you in my heart
You are there for life
Because you hold
A special place to me

There is so much good
Harbored in my soul
My faith will see me through
To the future I await

It will be better
Than the times past
Because for tomorrow
I live today at last

Wonderful Lone Wolf....I have every reason in the world to believe that you are all those things and that you are a friend for life....this is a great write!!

Well delineated album of the self. The phrase more than the sum of these things comes to mind.

walt . . . Thank you, and yes I'm trying to be positive these days.

SEA . . . Well, thank you. I just write what I feel. Glad you enjoyed it.

Poeminister . . . Thanks.

Amy . . . Happy you like this one. Just looking at the good for a change. For some reason we usually focus on the negatives and life's just too short for that!

Eagle . . . Nice to see you my friend. Thank you and YOU take care too.

ethome . . . That I am. Thanks!

Kathleen . . . If they know me they do! Thanks for the compliments, but YOU are also beautiful in every way my friend.

AT . . . Thank you. Just a peek at the real me.

Finding yourself, and who you are is so rarely done. You've done it beautifully. I am so glad I caught this.

After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all.

My but I wish I had the ability to see myself as you do! You have been very kind to me since I arrived at the site, so I have to agree with those that know you well, you must truly be all of these things and I am sure more. Nicely done.

Wynter . . . I bet they are there in you too. Just look and see.

Kit . . . Yes, I try to remember those things when life is not so kind to me. Thanks!

Just A Woman . . . Thank you, yes, I finally know who I am. You know, I'm not so bad after all!!

walker . . . It sure is wonderful. That key also unlocks the door to inner peace. Hard to achieve, but well worth the effort.

Mysteria . . . Just look in the mirror. i am thinking it is there from what I have seen so far. Thank you, I am happy to help you anytime and I am glad we met.
