The Becoming of Me by HarryT Who Are You? contest entry |
As life went on, I wondered if
I was just working to please others
Becoming the Who others wanted of me?
I examined my college life and realized
Regardless of what others might think
I had to do what my heart said was right…
No lying, no faking, or acting, or pretending Just to be accepted and liked, so I switched
My major to education and became a teacher
Think for myself, seek God’s light
I discovered in the process of life
Loving myself and caring about others
Was the way of life as an educator
I loved and followed
Now that I'm retired I am still
Loving myself and my neighbor
Helping when I can and becoming
The Who that I am happy I am
