Several years ago I attended a class to help me overcome my obstacles, face my fears and remember who I am.  We were asked to write a poem about ourselves that included all four elements of nature.  I am inspired to post this by a MommyPerks post of a poem about her by her son.  And maybe the never-ending rainstorm in Los Angeles got me thinking too.  When I reread this poem I wrote almost six years ago from my perspective now it makes me smile.  It represents who I want to be every day.  And more importantly, it represents how my husband and daughter see me no matter how I feel about myself.  They LOVE me unconditionally and can see past all of my imperfections and issues.  How grateful I am to be in a place where people who inspire me to be in the fullest expression of who I am surround me.  I am creative.  I am passionate!  I am inspired!  I am a force of nature.

I am

by Susan Kay Wyatt

I am Fire.

I light the way to truth

and warm it’s bitter, frigid sting

With a dazzling glow of loving humor.

I am water.

I softly flow and wash away fear and doubt

with mesmerizing song.

I sparkle and dance in the light of God’s love.

I am wind.

I blow away the dust of yesterday’s regret.

I billow in the sails of a thousand ships

destined for tomorrow.

I am earth.

I am grounded yet I kiss the sky

with mountains of possibility.

I grow and change with every season into beauty.
