I Speak for the Words

Quotes are among my favorite things. They are my guideposts through life; my internal compass. I attempt to speak for the words, which make up quotes, which gives inspiration. The following is an "I Am" poem about one of my favorite things.

I am words of inspiration, wisdom throughout the ages, profound thoughts - true today and tomorrow

I wonder and marvel at those who cherish me

I hear people reading me ever so quietly, loud and triumphantly, or with prayerful reverence

I see sunshiny smiles, faces of content, and tear-brimmed eyes

I want to always be a surprise in the foil wrapper of Dove chocolates

I am words of inspiration, wisdom throughout the ages, profound thoughts - true today and tomorrow

I pretend that everyone in the world hangs on my every syllable

I believe my words are a magic potion able to transform hurts to hopes, defiance to destiny, woes to wisdom

I touch the broken hearts, damaged souls, and ever-wandering, but never lost minds of those who seek and ponder me

I feel richly rewarded when recited as a source of much-needed strength or encouragement

I worry that future generations will not realize my monumental power

I cry when overlooked by the apathetic, who feel nothing; the arrogant, who need nothing

I am words of inspiration, wisdom throughout the ages, profound thoughts - true today and tomorrow

I understand the vast impact I impart to all of humanity

I say silly things, sweet nothings, and thought-provoking ideas

I dream to always be alive, breathing hope and inspiration to those who pursue me

I hope to be magnetized to refrigerators, scribbled on napkins, imprinted within blithe hearts

I am words of inspiration, wisdom throughout the ages, profound thoughts - true today and tomorrow
