WHO AM I
By Jennifer Lynn Lawson-Nigro
1999


I am my mother,
The social butterfly,
Loving life and having fun.

I am my grandparents,
Nurturing, loving,
Taking care of my family.

I am my father,
Sometimes indulgent,
But I wont go too far.

I am my husband,
Laughing
And playing and having fun.

I am my sisters and brother,
I want what I want
Who cares what others say.

I am my aunts and uncles and cousins,
Blessed with a big family,
So many people around that care.

I am my friends,
Nothing wrong with getting the job done,
As long as you have fun doing it.

I am a little bit of everyone
That has ever touched my life
Good and bad,
Known and unknown,
Subtly and boldly.
They have all contributed
To the creation
Of the person before you…
Me

I AM ME
