Who Am I?

I have reflected today, as to who I am
And decided I'll be as descriptive as best I can

Wonderful
Funky
A bit rock-punky
I keep my computer desk fairly junky

Extroverted
Extreme
Not at all junk-yard-dog mean

I wear rain boots
Love flower shoots
Can't play tennis worth a hoot

Heart-over-head in love with my son
Want to own and shoot a gun

Tough as nails, sharp as a tack
If you're in a pinch, I'll have your back

I have a spine, which bends, not breaks
And a big heart, which can cause me many aches

A Catholic: sometimes good, sometimes bad
Always repentant after the ill-wandering ways that I've had

Cheerful
Lively
Really Sarcastic
Adventuresome
Thoughtful
Truly Bombastic

My rhyming is free, wild, and loose
At this point I sound like a retarded Dr. Seuss

I have learned to laugh at myself when others reject me
Through the pain, I smile for the world to see

I wear silly hats and dresses no matter what the weather

I laugh long and loud
I will re-learn how to hold my head up proud

I am all this and so much more
I have learned and lived much at 8 years and 1 score

My hope and my prayer for this coming year
Is that I will live my life with much love and little fear

I will embrace life at its best
And do what I can to deal with the rest

I will survive, I will be true,
I can say this "Thanks be to you"
