I Am

I AM

I am
more than
the sum of my parts.

I am
more than
aching feet
an unbendable finger
and near sighted eyes.

I am
more than
a dead and
diseased intestine
an atrophied pancreas
and possibly a
barren womb.

I am
more than sparkly eyes
fair skin
a wide grin
and a wrinkled nose.

I am
more than delicate ears
shiny hair
or rosy cheeks.
I am
more than
the sum of my parts.

I am
Sound.
I am a whimper of fear
and a wail of
indescribable pain.
I am a belly laugh
and a
gale of giggles.
I am a deep wrenching moan of
soul crushing agony.
I am the pure clear voice of
Alleluias being sung.

I am
Color.
I am the gray of ash
the red of blood.
I am the blue of
calm waters and
the orange of
vitality and life.
I am the glorious
orangey pink of joy.

I am
Light
I am the faint dimness
that shows the way
when shadows fall.
I am the light a laugh brings
to chase away the gloom.
I am a firefly on the
darkest night.
I am the Light of Chreist
for all to see.

I am
more than
the sum of my parts.
I am a beloved
child of God.
