I Am

I am the peace in the chaos

The comfort carrying sadness

I am the laughter of a full heart

And the sunrise of every morning

I am in the smell of evening trees

And the cool, soft grace of the wind

I am the majestic moon’s rising

And the waves of the blue sea, speaking

I am the remaking of a bond once broken

The forgiveness of a painful memory

I am in the questions of a curious child

And the holding of a mother’s touch

I am the friendliness of a neighbor

And in the playfulness of a father’s love

I am the provision of a needed paycheck

And in the smirk of a brother’s fun

I am in the creation of an artist

And the sweat of the night shift done

I am the beauty of a natural birth

And the love of a grandparents’ smile

I am the kindness that touches moments

And the release of honest tears

I am in the crown of a little princess

And the dirt of a farmer’s hand

I am the rest in the middle of busy

And the focus of a hard day’s work

I am in the afternoon walks splendor

And the lavisher of unique quirks

I am in the seasons of every change

And the wellspring of faith’s story

In the depths of the earth I whisper

And the vast skies are my glory

I am in the patience of a linger

In your heart, I find my home

For you are my best creation

Beloved, I hold you close

I walk alongside as you go

For where you sit, I stand

Consider me with your trust

Your dearest friend, I am
