Who Am I ??


Who Am I??


I am me, Who  I was born to be
I don't live my life as another
would try to force upon me.
I'm  a wife and a mother.

I was a  teacher at one time 
Till a few years ago that is
I loved teaching kids how to rhyme
Writing  stories or poems like this

I try to show who I am inside
Through my actions and my words
As true beauty is not on the outside
I can be sensitive but I cover what hurts

There are the What I am in this world
Those labels and things are what others see
They've been that way since I was a little girl
Refusing to see the beautfy inside of me

I'm a volunteer now.  Three places I go
I do it all for the glory of our Lord
I like to do these that let His love show
never boasting  of  my efforts or score

I go through this world the best I can
Dealing with various health ailment
But tt's not what defines who I am
They help me to help, when others can't

I know who I am my name  is Bonnie
I am a child of The true and loving Lord
I  live the way He directs and wants of me
Knowing with Him I'm not alone any more

Bonnie Hollywood-Cutts

I'm a wife and mother of 2 grown kids. I have 6 cats, Mostly females. I write a lot of poetry and have 2 novels ready to publish. I use both my birth name and my married name for writing and facebook to separate me from others that have the same names. I live with a lot of health issues. I worked till 2012 before things increased. in the way of issues. so now I volunteer in 3 places and do housework and writing the rest of the time. There is a lot more to me than just this little bit.
