I would like to be... what the world wants to see <br />But I’m happy… just as I am. <br />I would like to make...everyone happy and smile <br />But I’m just doing the best that I can. <br /> <br />I take each day now... more as it comes <br />Taking one step… gingerly at a time. <br />All the steps most not planned at all <br />But they are all the steps taken... that are mine. <br /> <br />God has shown me which way to walk <br />Where there are lessons… to be learned. <br />Each step that I take…along with Him <br />Is all of what… with Him in life’s walk I’ve earned. <br /> <br />Sacrificing what I need to sacrifice <br />Giving to others what they might need. <br />Showing them all... what God deems important <br />Thus keeping away…all life’s greed. <br /> <br />By: Linda Winchell <br />Copyright: 2009<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-would-like-to-be-2/
