I AM

I Am

I am a daughter, a wife, a mother.
I wonder what else life has for me.
I hear good news, I hear bad news.
I see the unfolding of difficult times
I want what is best for my children, my country.
I am a daughter, a wife, a mother, a concerned citizen.

 

I pretend everything is okay.
I feel the pain of middle class working people.
I touch my possessions and wonder.
I worry what the future holds.
I cry tearlessly for our country.
I am a daughter, a wife, a daughter, a citizen.

 

I understand the dilemma we are in.
I say we cannot surrender, or give up.
I dream we will withstand and overcome.
I try to keep the faith of our founding fathers.
I hope our country shall withstand and overcome.
I am a daughter, a wife, a mother, a proud citizen.
