who I am

Poem Commentary

This poem was written as my way of looking at my students and at their perceptions of who they are and how little they differ from each of us despite their physical and cognitive challenges

who I am

I am so much more

Then you may know

 in many ways

We are the same

The differences make me who I am

A player in a wonderful game

Who I am

Will make you smile

And will sometimes make you cry

But I have changed throughout my years

From caterpillar to butterfly

 like each each precious flower

Reaching out toward the light

I have blossomed and I’ve grown

With a future clear and bright

Who I am is truly more

then the sum of  all my parts

I have shared and have connected

With  kind and caring hearts

 don’t let appearances fool you

Like the cover of a book

Judge me by my actions

Not by the way I look

For within me there is a spirit

The heart of my true being

It makes me who I am

 while making this world worth seeing

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
