Who I Am

Who I Am

I am who I am. I am the vessel Made of the earth And to the earth I will return. I am the soul within Awaiting my journey’s end And the start of life again.

I was born of all who came before me And shaped by those surrounding me. I am the child who once was And the woman who is now.

A thousand hands have molded me; A thousand hearts guide me. Countless souls I visit On my passage through time.

I am the culmination Of my life’s joys and sorrows. I am the sum of all of these. I am their total. I am who I am.
