I Became

Hello Everyone,

I am posting a poem that I composed.  I hope that you enjoy.

I Became

A quiet wish upon a twinkling star

In the night sky

Night dreams of day dreams parading by 

The softness of a whisper

I wish one by one

I want to reach out

Touching the heart of someone

Provide shade for a woman with child

Waiting in the noonday sun

I want to be a voice in a mind

With no sense of hope

 Outreach, compassion, courage to cope

Self expression through art

An oil painting of my heart

The light began to shine

 Through the window to my face

 I heard a gentle voice  

“In this world you have a place”

I can stand and say

I am that person I wished to be

I am the greatness that I call me

I am the one who goes by my name

I am the dream

 “I became” 

A Tribute to Self-Worth
