I am a wailing infant swaddled in my crib, warm with love. I am a playful toddler lying on the pavement with scraped knees, blind with tears. I am a running child on the playground at noon, breathless and free. I am a defiant teen hunched over on the curb, hopeless and broken. I am a wonderstruck bride bathed with white, full of life. I am a lonesome wife curled up in an empty bed, yearning for him. I am a delighted mother watching my baby drive away, proud beyond belief. I am a sorrowful widow standing beside his grave, abandoned and afraid. I am a decaying woman holding her first great-grandbaby, nostalgic but peaceful. I am a dying elder slipping into the darkness beyond, eager to rest. I am *crushed love-struck turbulent shattered passionate fearful euphoric anguished zealous grief-stricken victorious* alive

Who I Am
I am a wailing infant swaddled in my crib, warm with love. I am a playful toddler lying on the pavement with scraped knees, blind with tears. I am a running child on the playground at noon, breathless and free. I am a defiant teen hunched over on the curb, hopeless and broken. I am a wonderstruck bride bathed with white, full of life. I am a lonesome wife curled up in an empty bed, yearning for him. I am a delighted mother watching my baby drive away, proud beyond belief. I am a sorrowful widow standing beside his grave, abandoned and afraid. I am a decaying woman holding her first great-grandbaby, nostalgic but peaceful. I am a dying elder slipping into the darkness beyond, eager to rest. I am *crushed love-struck turbulent shattered passionate fearful euphoric anguished zealous grief-stricken victorious* alive
