I Am... Poem by Maurice Harris

(For UBBH)

I am the quiet, kind heart that makes you smile
Though not near to you, with you I am, all the while!
You find me in all you love and all you see,
Your favorite song, the most beauteous star lily-
The awe-inspiring beauty chronicled in prose,
I am the most melodic tune one could compose!

I exist in the magical innocence of my son and daughter-
My essence seen in a Mexican beach's pristine water;
There you will see me in all of nature's splendor,
With you am I, in all your moments, most tender!

I am the beauty others see in your eyes,
I am the path that the majestic eagle flies-
The wind, the rain, the earth and the sun,
I am not just me, I am imparted to everyone!
