I AM, I WILL BE

Michael Edwards

 I AM, I WILL BE.

 

I am

I will be

Who I am.

 

I will not

 change

 I am content

I’ve lived my life.

 

if I offend

I am resigned

If I bring joy

I’m pleased.

 

I’ve lived my life

I am content

I’ve earnt

the right.

 

I am.

I will be

who I am.

 

Please do not seek

to change me now.

        So very true. Part of my philosophy of life is "This is me if you do not like what you see that is your problem, not mine"

        A fine write and pic M. But - Who am I? Am I 'Me', 'Myself', or 'I'? An identity crisis. Which one of the three fellas am I?! lol.

        • Michael Edwards

          You is thee is thou are right because I, is me is right myself isn't it.

          • orchidee

            Now I is even more confused, with them thee's and thou's - forsooth! And wherefore art Romeo? Is thou hiding? Terrible grammar tenses here, innit?!

              Sorry Michael, forgot to mention the art work. That is wonderful. Really like that.

              • Michael Edwards

                Thanks Andy - that's really kind - I did it as a demo and as part of a workshop I ran about three weeks ago. When you only have a couple of hours you have to keep the subject simple - anyway it seemed to go down well.

                  who could ask for anything more than to be contented with his lot ...

                  • Michael Edwards

                    I.m not sure if it's because I've been lucky or if it's because I've worked darned hard for it but either way life's been good to me - thanks Neville.
