I Am

I am refreshing as a cool summer breeze
that blows down from the mountains.

I am a great childhood memory
as grandma's ice tea and buttered toast.

I am good times_sunny days at the beach with the finest of friends
 a fun day of running through thick grassy fields with bare feet.

I am an unforgettable first love_strong emotions_ tingles and smiles,
and the sweet array of the light touch of shy lips
that special first kiss.

I am tasteful romance and fine dining,
candlelight dinner for two served with vintage wine
on a private yacht named "Paradise".

I am... Natures' Best!
















I am the worse feeling you can imagine_
hot scotching winds against virgin skin,
bad dreams that do not end.

I am regrettable as the slip of the tongue_
words spoken in anger that you can never take back.

I am the pains of two days of hard labor
without the joys of childbirth.

I am the dread of lost jobs, unpaid bills,
empty wallets and negative $5.00 in the bank.

I am illness, that sick feeling deep down in the pit of your guts
developed from worry and anxiety.

I am fear, remorse, and the devastation
of searching for a missing child
yet, finding only shreds of clothing.

I am what we have come to know as "Hell on earth".

I am Nature's Unrest!
