ME

Sometimes I wonder,
what am I?

Am I a rugged rock,
that stands upto wind and storm
facing the furies of weather
but staying strong and calm.

Or am I a frail dewdrop
dropped gently from the sky,
needs protection of strong leaves
from sun's harsh rays
or may silently die

Am I a sparkling stream
running through life's ups and downs,
giggling and gurgling all the way
full of vigor, no time for frowns

Or am I a placid lake
stable, silent of depth unknown,
calmly watching the wheels of time
standing all alone

Am I that small little bird
who spreads its wings to
view the world at its best
but can't untie the invisible strings,
which bind it to its nest.

Iam all that and more
I wonder,
then suddenly I realize
my blunder;
Iam ME,
my God's own creation,
carrying a piece of Him in my heart
I fear no oppression
Perfect in my imperfections
Iam free from all inhibitions
