WHEN WERE you YOU?

When were you YOU?

When a time of "self" was true?

I think I know when I was me...

Not until later years did I see!

If you know you are YOU

Your place in the world opens wide,

Opportunities for love abide

Creativity and freedom side by side!

When I discovered I was me

I was nearly fifty-three.

Believe it or not, I was in my Jeep

When I made a discovery that made me complete.

I was trying to squeeze myself in a mold

Of being a small-town girl growing old.

It was OK to love the lure of the city!

Culture, learning, buzzing activity!

 Of course one can imagine anywhere, any time...

But breaking that mold was the bottom line

Of gaining my freedom to be who I am.

So be who you are and I'll be who I am!!
