"I Am&Quot; Poem by Pauline DiBenedetto

I AM what I AM. I am not what you SEE.
What appears now before you, is NOT my IDENTITY.
I have no AGE. I am AGE-LESS, you see;
For, "I" ALWAYS was, and I ALWAYS will be.
I am of SPIRITUAL nature. Yes, I am a SPIRITUAL being.
I am of my CREATOR, and I SHINE through GOD'S BEAM.
My God is WITHIN me, and Spirit ALWAYS will be;
For "I" am of the BLESSED. Of the one who CREATED me.
I was created as a FLOWER, BLOOMING, day...by day.
I draw NEARER to my CREATOR, as my PETALS, wither away.
I will bloom AGAIN, I KNOW, when my petals are all GONE;
For, I am made of LOVE, and Love ALWAYS will LIVE on.
