I Am Volume One

Recently at a work event we were challenged to write a poem about who we are... mine isn't finished yet since I am still learning who I am. But I guess that is part of growing and changing as a person. You can learn something new about life and yourself everyday. Let's just call this Volume 1 @ the age of 30.

I am from the middle
I am from blonde blue eyed
I am from dark skin
I am from family first
I am from a culture rich in love rooted in Christ
I am from a painful past
I am from heartbreaks
I am from suburban cities
I am from a prayerful loving mother and devoted father
I am from a home of orphans and a widow
I am from a place where death is real and trials are anticipated
I am from a King so highly lifted up that no other can surpass
I am from a redeemed love, redeemed life and with a redeemed soul
I am from an uphill climb
I am from "God only knows" and "we'll see"
I am from steps of trust and leaps of faith
I am from roadblocks and great walls
I am from laughter and sarcasm
I am a journey not yet over just barely starting
I am mountain worth climbing with a view unlike any other
I am from mercy and grace
I am from a love unshaken
I am unshaken and unmoved
I am insecure and strong
I am being buffed, smoothed out and polished
I am scars and everything brown
I am weaknesses and I am strengths
I am passion that flows like the amazon river
I am depth that can be misunderstood
I am tough and guarded
I am a soul delicate and fragile
I am complex and simple
I am french fries and dance parties
I am an artist and a poet, a capturer of moments and a vocalist
I am creative and structured
I am protected by a love that no man can give me
I am seen as pure through the eyes of perfection
I am of sacrifice incomprehensible to the human mind
I am from three nails and two poles and four holes
I am from tetelestai
