my story

must i always be the person that i think i have become?

must i always live the story pasts provide?

no, i'm changing and creating ever, always, as i live

leading lady in my story- i decide.

my story is as big as i imagine it to be,

my story is what i have made of life.

as light flickers through a window, warming what it deigns to touch,

moving as the sun moves through the day,

my life could be a sunbeam, moving on as life demands,

but blessing those i contact on my way.

my story is the way i act when all is going wrong,

my story is whoever i have touched.

and so, i know i choose how i react and who i am,

i know i am the author of my own. 

i hope i choose to make this life more meaningful than fun.

so that, when i am older, i have grown.
