Of all the people that you may know <br />There is one who remains an embryo <br />You will never meet them face to face <br />Because you are standing in their place <br /> <br />When you stop to think... you will seek <br />Asking yourself, what makes you unique <br />As life passes through a continuing turnstile <br />Identity changes like the shadow of a sundial <br /> <br />When you are asked to describe your being <br />It is difficult to pinpoint what you are seeing <br />You see yourself in the eyes of those who look <br />Scanning their notes in an observation book… <br /> <br />No two chapters will be exactly the same <br />Each person sees you in a different frame <br />All that you can find of yourself is a reflection... <br />A variety of appraisals derived by connection <br /> <br />Within a searching mind, your vision is vast <br />Someone inside is waiting to be released at last <br />Finally there is an emergence of your worth <br />Find your significant self... then experience birth <br /> <br /> <br />(6/13/07/revised 2/12/2011)<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/finding-yourself/
