All About Me

I am J-A-I-M-I 

There is no E.

I am “I do” — it’s been 10 years.

I am my mother’s daughter,

I am my father’s twin,

I am my sister’s friend, 

And a momma to my pups. 

I am cuddled up on a winter’s day by the fireplace, 

Hands cupped around a mug of coffee

    –or two-or three

I am a Jane-of-all-trades, master of none:

I am cup on the ultimate field,

A forehand, or a backhand.

I am a handplant in volleyball,

And a read behind the block. 

I am a song with my guitar,

A song through the rain, and 

I am karaoke–

But not a solo, 

I’m only a duet.

I am a hand-knit scarf,

And a bracelet made by hand.

I am a baker of goods.

I am always “made with love.”

I am a jar of clay with cracks and glue,

But I am also the candle illuminating from within.

I’m refurbished and I’m new.

I am an encourager and I am kind. 

I am gentle yet tough. 

I am hope but I am logic.

I am a dreamer and a realist. 

I am weak, but I am strong. 

I am J-A-I-M-I.
