Me

I'm trying to discover

Who I am, and where I'm at,

And where I want to go from here,

Now who can tell me that?

To my children I'm a mother,

And twice, I was a wife,

To my parents I'm a daughter,

It was they who gave me life.

I'm a sister to my brother

And I'm a grandma, too,

I'm a niece, a cousin, and an aunt.

What am I to you -----??

If I should ask each person,

How amazing it might be,

For each answer would reveal

A different part of me.

But put them all together -----

And see what you will find,

The good, the bad, the weak, the sad,

It's tearing up my mind.

For I am somewhere ----- deep inside,

So deep that I can't see,

I haven't had a chance to live

Much of life as ----- me.
