Do you see?

I have dinosaurs in my pocket
I have crayons in my purse

I am a mom


I said I do, to have and to hold, til death do us part
I sacrifice and I compromise

I am a wife


I laugh with you, cry with you, dance with you
I stay up all night to talk to you about nothing

I am a friend


I have secrets and passions
I am strong, yet oh so fragile

I am a woman


I have words that I spin
I have stories to share

I am a writer


I have feelings I carry close to my heart
I am witty, sarcastic, yet sometimes forgetful

I am me


I am more than who you may first perceive


Do you see?

So much easier to see when you take a moment to get to know someone.

I think many of us forget there is so much more to that person we had a brief run in with during our busy days.
