I Am...What I Am

I Am...What I Am

I am a 5'10' child of God,
Descended from the very first man
And lasting until the end of time.

I may be short on the outside,
But on the inside, I am a surprise package,
Full of the strength of ten,
A Superman,
Able to leap tall buildings
In a single bound,
A Paul Bunyan hero,
Striding through the forest of life!

A spider has nothing on me,
For I, too, spin my webs!
Webs which hold those I love
Tightly to my heart.
I am like a Venus Flytrap,
Keeping close to myself
All that is mine.

I am a cream colored opal,
Sparkling fire in all directions.
Silver haired,
And wise in my age,
I go striding through life,
Hurrying to my next adventure.
