Sis

My sis

the one who

is always in the same relationship with me

no matter what else changes in life

Mom

my mom

the one who

gave me life and taught me to enjoy it

I AM...Mother

I am
soft whispered words
of comfort
during sickness

I am
loving arms
holding close
the babes of my womb

I am
warm hands
of love
soothing children's hurts

I am
tender tears
of joy
and pride in each new milestone

I am
smiles and laughter
from each and every moment
with my children

I am
sorrow and worry
from the harsh life lessons
each of them have learned

I am
hopes and dreams
and belief
in all their dreams coming true

I am
proud and appreciate
the strength, beauty and intelligence
of each of my children

I am
honoured
that they were my gift
and I am their mother

I am
grateful
for the life and the lessons
that I received from MY mother

I am
everything I am
because you are everything you are
and my mother

Thank you, Mom for being the mother you are
and for teaching me to be the mother I am
and Happy Mother's Day with all my love. xo

I AM...Orange

I am
the soft light
inside the raging flames
of phoenix fire

I am
the sweet aroma
and flavour
of pumpkin pie spice

I am
the soft whisper
of autumn leaves
drifting to the ground

I am
the vibrant
and brilliant colour
of transformation

I am
the deep burst
of sweet juices
dripping from a bitten peach

I am
the unforgettable
vision of glorious
blooming flower petals

I am
a range of colours
somewhere between
yellow and red

I am
just one aspect
of a life and
equally as beautiful as another.

I AM...Curvylicious

I am...
Curvylicious
That's right!
I said it!

I am
rounder than many
and struggled with self
until I came to KNOW

I am
what I am
it doesn't matter
what YOU see

I am
vibrant, alive, breathing
and I recognize
what matters is how I see ME

I am
all that I need to be
and more
heart, mind, soul and spirit

I am
queen, goddess, woman
Aphrodite and Venus
I embrace her spirit in me

I am
more than the standard
of beauty
more than the average

I am
strong, fierce, independent
beautiful
and free

I am
not afraid
or ashamed to BE
ME

I am
Curvylicious!!

I AM...Mojirayo

I am
suffering today
from all the usual
complaints

I am
making a choice
to be happy today
anyway

I am
Mojirayo
"I awoke to see joy"
is my mantra

I am
lifting my own heart
up out of its sorrow
by choice

I am
choosing
not only to find joy
where I can

I am
choosing
to BE it
as much and as often as I can

I AM
Mojirayo
and
I AM...JOY

I AM...a BLESSING

I AM...
a blessing
to my parents
and grand parents
and other family

I AM...
a blessing
to my children
and hopefully their children
after them

I AM...
a blessing
to the friends
who share life with me
and themselves

I AM...
a blessing
to the people
I touch every day even when
I do not know them

I AM..
a blessing
and a gift to those who know me
because I was created
to be

...and so are YOU.
