Me, Myself and I

ME

            

MYSELF

AND I        AND I

 

 

 

Me Myself And I

 

 

Me, myself and I all live inside my mind

Each is separate different from the other

First me the daughter, self-centered to a decree

Craving much of what life had to give

Faithfull wife, loving mommy and lenient grandma

Just being myself throughout so many years

Author and poet came last you see

The focus is on I and being all I can be

 

 

 

The me of my youth will just sit back and watch

As I accomplish many of her youthful dreams

First came the dream of finding my true love sweet

And then discovering what unconditional love can be

As each child is born, one-two-three … and then

Grief fills my heart as the youngest one dies

Number four, a three year old boy

Adopted and has always brought me much joy

 

 

 

Myself, I’ve learned to weather life’s storms

In the night lightning flashes and thunder roars

But soon the sun breaks through with sparking light

Refresh in this life’s sweet afterglow

Child is in heaven waiting his father and me

A ray of hope in my heart of more to come

Myself looks to the future and not the past

Living each day as if it was her last

 

 

 

The I, has become a woman of worth

Knowing the wonder that life has in store

Living each day and writing it down

For posterity’s sake, the generations to come

Each word written is a memory of me, myself and I

I once was daughter, and then a wife

A mommy and a grandma full of love

Poet and author His gifts from above

 

Reviews

[Kaa Na Kalyanasundaram]

How can I say? This is not a poem, it's a wonderful life of a human being.

Our soul will have more life, if it has the united attitude and adjustable thinking with the kith and kin.

I enjoyed much.

[Sharon Miller Bolander]

Oh, Nancy, the combination that makes up YOU is what I read through the lines of this poem and your other writing. Living life has given you a perspective and a voice to share. I feel as if I got to know a bit more of what makes up our Nancy. What an enjoyable poem! Sharon
