I am the sweetness of honey from the bee <br />I am the fragrance from the magnolia tree <br />I am the soil beneath your feet lending <br />The strength upon which you are depending <br /> <br />I am the heart that loves passionately <br />I am the ear the listening compassionately <br />I am the hand of diligence tending fields <br />As days darken and blister…I am your shield <br /> <br /> <br />4/8/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-171/
