I, AM MANY PEOPLE

I, am many people
I, am who you allow me to be to you
I, am your wife
I, am your mother
I am a lover of words, a doer of deeds
I, am your confidant and I am your friend
I, am many people

I see you as you really are
Your eyes mirror your soul
You show me more than you tell me
I see you because I am many people

I am a child ...
I give you love and trust unconditionally
I am a woman ...
Embracing that love passionately
I am many people
I see you
Can you see me?

I am a writer...
I see your story
Should I tell it?
I am a lyricist ...
Shall I sing your song?

I have eyes to see
Ears to hear
And a heart that feels
With a soul that records
Shall I play it back for you?

Are you strong enough to see yourself
The way we perceive you to be?

I am many people
My heart sees you
Accepting you just as you are
I choose not to tell you all that I see
For you are not strong enough yet

I am many people
You are many people too
Imagine the magnificence of it
If all that you are and all that I am
Met on that honest unbiased plane of truth

I am many people
We see you
We see the reality
We see the beauty
Can you see us?
Dare we ever allow all of them to meet?

I am many people
Will you trust us as we are,
Dare you trust the truth of who you are
Come...
Take our hand
Walk with us
In
Peace everlasting...
