TWO POEMS

TWO POEMS

Gerri Bachman

I am Me I am me     And I wonder in all I see I am multi faceted     Complex and quite unique For there is only one of me I do not always understand     The things I do I do not always understand     The things I learn about me But I that in the l knowing     I have grown.

Our lives are but a moment in time

    Just a second in the life of our earth

But if in our own time

    We can touch a soul with love or

Bring a smile to a lonely heart

    We can be at peace.

We may not climb the highest mountain

    But we can climb the foothills

We may not see our names in print or on a movie screen

    But we can leave our footprints in the sand

If we belive in our self

    And strive to be the very best we can be

Then all that we do in our moment of time

    Will be worthwhile
