HearthBeats: A Poem from a Kitchen Witch

Merry Meet and welcome to my hearth. Grab a chair and a cuppa tea and sit with me a spell. I would like to share this is a poem I wrote a few years ago when I was trying to define myself and my life after a series of tragic event. I have taken it out to look at and realized this could be YOU. So I share this with you. Know that I share my heart and my pain. But also know that I love the me I am today.. and could add at least 5 more paragraphs to this as I have grown by leaps and bounds since this was written.

I AM truly blessed and realize that with every breath I take.

I AM
By The Hearthkeeper

I am me
The me the world made
Not the me I wanted to be

I am me
The wife my Hubby made me to be
Not the me I wanted to be

I am me
The mom my kids made me to be
Not the me I wanted to be

I am me
the person the society made me to be
Not the me I wanted to be

I am me
The me my religious lessons made me to be
Not the me I wanted to be

I am me

The me the God/dess has guided to this path

Not the me I wanted to be

I am me

The me that Death has made me to be

Not the me I wanted to be

I am me
The scared girl Cancer is making me to be
Not the me I wanted to be

So now what…
If I am me..who is that
A wife, mom, witch, cancer survivor
Is this the me I wanted to be??

Am I me??
I do not know..
The me I wanted was a picture
A vision
Of the me I wanted to be

But all that has made me
Molded me
Formed me by their needs
Have made me the me I am

I AM ME
The me I am today
Love and cherished
Hugged and blessed
I am MOM,WIFE,WITCH,
SURVIVOR,EARTH MOTHER

I am me
The person who has evolved
From the me I wanted to be
To the me I want to be today

I am me

And I am truly blessed.

Until next time

Blessed Home and Hearth
