Who Am I?

Who am I

As I stand before Life?

Some guy from Louisiana

Living in Texas

A Presbyterian pastor

A husband of thirty-six years

A father of a daughter and a son

A son, a brother, an uncle

A follower of Jesus

 

A Wild Mustang

A Lost Soul

An Angry Prophet

A Frustrated Poet

Looking for his song to sing.

 

Who am I

In the depth of my soul?

None of these answers seem enough

They are all right and yet

Who am I?

 

I get glimpses of me

Some I like. Some I don’t

Some parts of me I want to party with

Because they are so cool

Some parts of me I want to send away

Because they’re not who I want to be.

 

Some parts of me have no name

I don’t know them at all

Yet somehow, I am less

Due to my ignorance of me.

 

Who am I?

I really, really don’t know.

So many in me I need to meet and welcome home

And love.

I sense lots of energy in me to be released.

Lots of energy
