| I am someone, I walked past a dead face; even though, the person was alive, I saw my eyes in the mirror and cried at the sight. I looked at a person I didn't know, and I met a friend I got heads to turn when I walked past. I learned a lot about myself when I lost a new friend. I cried every tear in my body when I thought about love. I got hit bad then got back in the ring. I climbed a mountain of rocks and saw an eagle fly over-my head. I heard terrible things about myself when no one thought I was listening. I realized I was strong when I didn¹t cry when it hurt. I found out who I was when I was with someone else. I thought I was lost forever when a friend found me. I held a life in my hand, and it was my own. I was a pawn in someone else's game, so I surrendered to a brook. I walked the fine line between surviving and not wanting to survive. I still am I am someone. |

I may not have a lot of fame Nor a mansion on a hill. I have no real fine gifts to give There is nothing to reveal. I do not have a lot of wealth But I have the things I need There are those who have most everything Whose lives are full of greed? I have a kind and loving heart With gentleness doth reign There are those who have no heart at all And send out lots of pain. I have a wonderful spirit That will never grow jagged or old There are those who have no feeling at all Their days are dark and cold. I have a wonderful pair of legs To help me get around There are those who have no legs at all To lift them when they’re down. I have a wonderful pair of arms To give a hug or two There are those who have no arms at all To feel the love I do. I have a wonderful pair of hands To let me work and play There are those who have no hands at all To help them through the day. I have a wonderful pair of ears To listen to the rain There are those who cannot hear at all The splash upon the pane. I have a wonderful pair of eyes They have beheld some beautiful sights. There are those who cannot see at all Their world is black as night. I have a wonderful sense of smell And enjoyed the aroma of flowers There are those who cannot know this joy And miss life’s fragrant hours. My life has been a rainbow With only a bit of strife Today I counted my blessings I have a wonderful life. |
