I Am Me


I am calm like the river gently flowing

knowing fairly well where I'm going.

I am free like a bird flying overhead

but not so free as to choose when I'm dead.

I am small but I can make an impact

just like you and that's a fact.

My voice chimes out into the breeze

calling out for someone to help me please.

Though I may be strong

it's okay to ask for help when something goes wrong.

I am beautiful in my own way

getting ready to seize the day.

I am me

and that's all I will ever need to be.
