I AM...a VOICE

I am a voice
In the darkness
For many
I do not know them
I may never know
They have heard
Still
I must SPEAK
With my voice
In the darkness
BECAUSE
I AM
...and by BEING
The VOICE
In the darkness
I allow THEM
...and INSPIRE them
to SPEAK
with their OWN.
I am a voice
In the darkness
Only ONE of many.

I AM...BEAUTIFUL

Original Post: 365 Days of the Word (12/29/2012)

I am...
beautiful
not because of
the package I come in
or the colour of my skin
not because
my eyes are pretty
or the length of my hair
not because I am
or am NOT
a perfect shape or figure
but because
of my spirit
my heart
my mind
my soul
all that I am
and all that I carry
within myself
all that I have
to offer to the world
all that I give
all that I believe
all that I share
all that I create
all that I imagine
all that I am
and I am...
BEAUTIFUL

I AM...WORTHY

I am NOT worthless...for ANY reason.
NONE of us are.
We are HERE.
We MATTER.
We are worthy of love, understanding, compassion, friendship, companionship, and LIFE itself.
...and SO much MORE!
I live and breathe. I AM.
I give.
I fight.
I learn.
I grow.
I hurt.
I cry.
I break.
I build.
I heal.
I find joy.
I try new things.
I hope.
I dream.
I love.
I let go.
I stand,
I fall.
I climb higher.
I see.
I hide.
I rest.
I work.
I share.
I need.
I AM.
ALL.
Most of all I AM worthy of anything and everything I want in this life...
just because...
I AM.

GOD made me so.

I AM...LIFE

(originally posed in 365 Days of the Word)

the breath
of life
flowing through
the blood in my veins
beating in every thump
and bump
of my heart
shining
throughout
every thought
in the mind
and my creative
process
drawn through
every breath
I take
expressed
through the joy
in my laughter
and the sweetness
and light
in my soul
I am LIFE

I AM...HERE

(originally posted in 365 Days of the Word)
HERE
breathing in
deeply
the scents
and aromas
of life
flowers
green growing things
rain showers
the smell
of roast chicken
in the oven
steaming coffee
in my cup
sizzling bacon
in the pan
the smell of lilacs
on the breeze
all these
and many more
tickle my nose
and my soul
I AM...HERE
