I Am

lizaaitken

I am the sum total

of all I’ve experienced in life,

present in this moment

through happiness and strife.

Moulded by adversity

and shaped through tender care,

If these things had not occurred,

I could be anywhere.

I travel in this vehicle

it has veered along the road,

I’m so very strong and balanced,

I carry a heavy load.

I ensure that it is packed well,

no need to stack it high,

I let it go quite often,

in-between stages I pass by.

I am the sum total

of all I’ve experienced to date,

I’m collecting as I move along,

before it gets too late.
