I AM


I am my hands, my feet,

The words I say when I can not speak.

 

I am my arms and legs,

The songs I sing when I fall asleep.

 

I am my neck and chest,

The yawn I make when I first awake.

 

I am my figure and face,

my hair and my teeth, my eyes---my lips.

 

I am the parts of me,

The ones I see and the ones I feel.

 

I am the eager dreams,

Patiently planning a better life.

 

I am the hopes of one,

For the promises of the future.

 

I am the hard worker,

For the betterment of humankind.

 

I am also a friend, 

Who will take you along for the ride.
