I am a passionate woman.
I wonder if there is more.
I hear the cries of the broken hearted.
I see the desperation behind their eyes.
I want to make a difference.
I am a passionate woman.
I pretend that I have it all together and
I feel at times I do.
I touch the stars and hope to change their paths.
I worry my efforts will be in vain.
I cry because I feel small.
I am a passionate woman.
I understand the world is broken.
I say,"There is more, so much more!"
I dream of doing something that matters.
I try to be so many things I am not.
I hope for the things unseen.
I am a passionate woman.
*When I was in college, we were asked to write an "I am" poem by following a template. I never seriously got around to writing the poem. Yesterday, I discovered my sophomores did this activity and I was really inspired by their beautiful work. It made me come home and work on it.*
