Part Of Me Now Poem by Carmela Patterson

Stepping out into the springtime of my life
Soft breezes lift my soul and my spirit
I want to run toward the farthest horizon
Escaping the clod I trod and not fear it.

Reaching out to the unfolding before me
Of dreams dreamt I had looked toward
The realization is they are coming true
As pure joy into my heart is being poured.

Embracing the new spirit growing within me
I'll hold onto it and thrust it into my spirit
I'll cleave to it mightily and never ever let go
It is part of me now and I'll heartily endear it.
