I Am Poetry

My students are writing "I Am" poems, and they are so creative.  Oh, I did this in high school.  My mom even found my "I Am" poem and gave it to me when I was teaching poetry a few years ago.  Amazing how "I Became" my "I Am" poem!~ LOL!!  Almost, anyway!  Well, I did "misplace" that one so I decided to try it again.... Here's my latest attempt...

 I AM

I am forty and funny~

I wonder why we hurt so much?

I hear the brush of angels’ wings protecting me from unseen danger~

I see the signs- the rapture is soon!

I want my boys to make wise choices!

I am forty and funny~

I pretend I am a long-legged fast runner!

I feel like an Olympic champion as I cross the finish line-

I touch the future, daily.

I worry our children will never understand the sacrifices made by our country's forefathers!

I cry when others hurt so much-

I am forty and funny~

I understand that God is sovereign and in control.

I say “I can trust God no matter what”!

I dream my boys will be missionaries?

I try to put others first-

I hope my students will learn to love to read, but mostly that God has a wonderful plan for their lives-

I am forty and funny!

Your turn! Looks easier than it is!!!!
