I Am Somebody Metaphorically Speaking Poem by Dorothy (Alves) Holmes

I am the sunset's radiant smile
I am rain's melody with songs sublime
I am the energy it takes every day to
Play life's game!
I am that sound in pounding heartbeat
in rhymic caress.
I am the colors prompted by a rainbow
That awes the eye and touches the soul.
I am the sigh a mother prays
Listening to a sick baby's cry.
I am passion delivered in a kiss
I am starlight, said by some...
A song rendering love's melody
I am somebody, uniquely, a butterfly
Growing wings.
I was told once, 'God had given me Sparkle Magic! '
Children know it's true!
