THAT, I am
By Jim Daddy Bear
THAT, I am
A Human Being,
Only one of Creator's many living creatures.
Not perfect, nor anywhere near;
Not expecting to be.
Unique in my gifts, not better.
Changing every moment that I'm granted,
as I breathe the sweet air; as I drink the blue water;
as I'm warmed by Father Sky's fire orb;
and as I'm cooled, lying on Mother's green grass.
Not to be harnessed by other's expectations.
Nor controlled by other's egos.
Free to make my own mistakes,
and learn my own lessons.
Walking The Red Road
Being the best relation I can be
to all my family.
Loving without judgement.
Learning without doubt.
Growing without fear.
I AM HERE
THAT, I AM!
Blessings in The Light, Brother JimBear, 2005
