Somewhere in a hospital, maybe just across town <br />a new child arrives, by the ounce and the pound- <br />"Who am I?" this child of the universe shall ask, <br />"Whether I succeed or fail, it will <br />be your task"- <br />-"I came today, just as I am, God says <br />I'm great, regardless of race or ethnic background"- <br />-"We all arrive with the same great status,"- <br />"but please, answer for me, Just who am I, <br />And what is my destiny"? <br />"I am this child you hold in your hands, Don't <br />Abuse or neglect, I can't understand"! <br />"Speak to me with knowledge, Invest in me your time." <br />"All great people were babies, <br />at one time"!<br /><br />Jerrye Cargill Blevins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-am-i-21/
