WHO AM I?




Have you ever wondered who you really are?
Why is life so tough sometimes?
Do you ever feel you are just drifting through life without any real purpose?
Who can turn it around?



 


 
 



WHO AM I?
The surf is up
The waves roll into shore
The tide is high
Can’t take it anymore
                Who am I?
                Driftwood floating in the sea
                Who am I?
It starts to rain
The gathering clouds are grey
The sun has gone
The storm is on its way
                Who am I?
                A leaf blowing in the wind
                Who am I?
The rivers swell
Sandbags are piled against the doors
The banks are breaking
Tears are flooding from my core
                Who am I?
                A fish swimming upstream
                Who am I?
Rocks are falling
The mountains are giving way
Land is sliding
Oh how I yearn for yesterday
                Who am I?
                A sheep lost on the fells
                Who am I?

Dark is descending
The day is subdued by another night
What more can befall me?
I want to give up the fight
                Who am I?
                A candle flickering all alone
                Who am I?
Lost in a world
And part of a universe so vast
How can I ever comprehend
Why perfect dreams and love can never last
                Who am I?
                A far flung star lost in the heavens
                Who am I?
 Yes who am I, who am I?

I am a piece of driftwood beaten by life – now I can help others in similar strife
I am a leaf fallen far from the tree – there is still time to build a better me
I am a fish battling the tide – and I can learn so much from the bumpy ride
I am a sheep who has lost its way – but I can ask for help come what may
I am a candle still alight – so I have a chance to still burn bright
I am a star in a distant galaxy – let God’s love shine in me for all to see
When life is rough it makes us tough
We fall from grace but stay in the race
Our scars may be deep but lessons we reap
Clear paths are rare but we have friends who care
We have hope in life ‘cos we have come this far
And best of all, God knows who we are!
