I think about the person
I have become and wonder why
I am at all like I am
What or whom directed, effected
My very being to walk in the
Direction that I have taken
Over the years of my life
My path has intersected many
Who have influenced me in
One way or another before I
Moved on to another way station
Carting my baggage from place to place
Treasuring some snippet I gleaned
From the previous stops wondering
What secrets of life lie ahead
Ready to be embraced by myself

I am ready
