'I Would Like To Be' Poem by Linda Winchell

I would like to be... what the world wants to see
But I’m happy… just as I am.
I would like to make...everyone happy and smile
But I’m just doing the best that I can.

I take each day now... more as it comes
Taking one step… gingerly at a time.
All the steps most not planned at all
But they are all the steps taken... that are mine.

God has shown me which way to walk
Where there are lessons… to be learned.
Each step that I take…along with Him
Is all of what… with Him in life’s walk I’ve earned.

Sacrificing what I need to sacrifice
Giving to others what they might need.
Showing them all... what God deems important
Thus keeping away…all life’s greed.
