I Am...


I Am…
I am
Laughter rising from the sky.
A fish swimming freely in the ocean.
Open my eyes, Lord.
I'm a Catholic Hymn of praise and hunger.
I am one. Only one can sustain me. Only one can have me.
I am a couch, so relaxed and family oriented.
Chicken soup that dries the tears and fixes ills.
A piano accompaniment.
A long, country road open to possibilities.
A soft breeze cooling the summer days and drawing people close.
I'm an evergreen always around to share the holidays.
Scared of falling without a net.
The world behind my eyes is full of worry and love.
Elizabeth Seibel – Spring 2008
