I like a quote and a poem or two, I do – as you have frequently seen on this blog.
Today I am sharing three poems by Anonymous. There is a great body of work by these men and women who gave freely of their wisdom and left behind words of insight, inspiration and encouragement.
Who knows who they were?
Heroes perhaps, or scholars, teachers, parents? Men and women like you and me who left behind insights and words that still fire up our imagination.
Enjoy …
Special
I’m Special…
In all the world there’s nobody like me
nobody has my smile
my eyes, nose, hair or voice
I’m Special…
No one laughs like me or cries like me
No one sees things just as I do
No one reacts just as I would react
I’m Special…
I’m the only one in all creation who has my set of abilities
My unique combination of gifts, talents and abilities
are an original symphony
I’m Special…
I’m rare
And in all rarity there is great value I need not imitate others,
I will accept – yes celebrate – my difference
I’m Special…
And I’m beginning to see that God made me special
for a very special purpose
God has a job for me that no one else can do as well as I do
out of all the applicants only one is qualified.
That one is me.
Because…… I’m Special!
Stick to it
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tent of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems a far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worse that you mustn’t quit.
Realization
Who am I?
I’m a woman of Black Heritage
What makes me strong?
My heritage
What makes me week?
My fears
What makes me whole?
My god
What keeps me standing?
My faith
What makes me compassionate?
My selflessness
What makes the honest
My integrity
What sustains my mind?
My quest for knowledge
What teaches me or lessons?
My mistakes
What lifts my head high?
My pride
What if I can’t go on?
Not an option
What makes me victorious?
My courage to climb
What makes me competent?
My confidence
What makes me essential?
My insatiable essence
What makes me beautiful?
My everything
What makes me a woman?
My heart
Who says I need love?
I do
What empowers me?
Me
Who am I?
I AM A WOMAN OF BLACK HERITAGE
