"I"
What do we mean when we repeat
this most common of words..?
Most of us would say
a multiplicity of things
many names of occupations
locations and the resume
most recently written..

This objectified I
accumulates memories
pleased with the good
fearing the bad
and so it goes over our years..
There are expressions of
Thank You
for material abundance
and for a good name..

This I is personal and close
but if we admit..not quite
the I we long to be..
And on occasion
a question asserts:
How might I be truly
Happy..?
Recognizing that I
good teachers will say
would mean that this
would be truly a
Happy Thanksgiving...!
