Who I Am

Who I Am

I am who I am.
I am the vessel
Made of the earth
And to the earth I will return.
I am the soul within
Awaiting my journey’s end
And the start of life again.

I was born of all who came before me
And shaped by those surrounding me.
I am the child who once was
And the woman who is now.

A thousand hands have molded me;
A thousand hearts guide me.
Countless souls I visit
On my passage through time.

I am the culmination
Of my life’s joys and sorrows.
I am the sum of all of these.
I am their total.
I am who I am.
