The Poetry of I am ME by Tonnette Collier, December 8, 2018 THE POETRY OF I AM ME With stunning eyes, lips heartly shaped, a mind of thoughtful thoughts, I carry the gift to love always, be forever true. Embracing God’s beauty, I am me, completely gratified by who I am. To love my Author, to love His Son, to love you, to love me, to bestow acts of kindness on the world, I am me. Blessed with caramel layered, peanut butter smooth skin and hands to dispense gentle touches, I am me. Walking confidently with hips that royally gyrate from right to left, boldly expressing my African ancestry of queen sistahness. I am me, pleasingly profound. Peacefully shinning like a morning sun, I am me endlessly standing with warm smiles to brighten any pathway, illuminating through uncertainty and cheerfully reigning through trials. I am me. Godly, womanly ways with impeccable strengths serve as natural roots connecting my femininity, my style. And pure sweetness resonates from this heart, this soul. I am me. A wordsmith of intellectual expressions that derive from creative interpretations wooing one’s mind, I am me. Gestures of certainty solidifies my quest to motivate, to stimulate, to lift spirits, to mesmerize and to entice destinies soaring beyond ordinary, I am me. Bestowed upon this vessel are pillars of hope, pillars of wisdom, pillars of stewardship, I am me. Resting on God’s wings of love year after year, day by day because I am destined for heavenly ground, I will always be…I am me. Written by Tonnette Collier December 28-31, 2016
