Am I 'that'? <br />That which has expressed my purpose? <br />Flaunted and yet, <br />Kept introspective. <br />Although touching with a respectfulness, <br />Impressing with an aggressiveness. <br />That is brought to birth, <br />Without pretensions to suspect. <br />For mindsets to collect and digest! <br />Am I 'that'? <br /> <br />That which has expressed my purpose? <br />Flaunted and yet, <br />Kept introspective. <br /> <br />But, <br />Exposed to those who choose to inspect. <br />From a diversed and eclectic selection. <br />To enjoy just a nibble... <br />Or disregard an effort released at my best! <br />I can not make every taste, <br />Unforgettable! <br />That I have yet to try! <br />Should I continue to let you decide, <br />I 'am' that! <br />Am I? <br /> <br />For you to say an arrival has been made? <br />Am I 'That'? <br />I've just begun another batch, <br />If you wish more! <br />I can not expect all my flavors to be savored. <br />Some are whipped to be delicious. <br />While a few may sit. <br />To do nothing with until I give them the attention, <br />They wish to get. <br />Perhaps they become the ones, <br />To attract when I'm done. <br />For you to say an arrival has been made? <br /> <br />Am I 'That'? <br />I can start another batch, <br />If you wish more!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
