Who Are We

The young boy’s reflection asked, “Who are we?”

“That’s a good question.” The boy responded.

“Are we a wolf in the night?

Running through grasslands, feeling the breeze through our fur

As we dance in the moon’s light?”

“Maybe.

“Are we a dragon in the day?

Soaring in the vast sky

With our tail and the past behind us

As we cherish the sun’s shimmering shine?”

“Possibly.”

“Then what are we for sure?”

“Well there are many words to describe us.

Kind, Compassionate, Optimistic.

There are also not so good words too.

Hyperactive, Sarcastic, Hard-headed.

No matter what we are, these words tell who we are.”

“But is there one word that describe us and all of those other words?”

“Yep there is only one.”

Me.
