Who I Have Always Been by Janet Fichter

WHO I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN

I am who I have always been
Little girl dancing in the wind
Carried away by singing words
When no one else is watching

I am who I have always been 
Little girl loving everyone
Devoted to those held close to heart
Where just a few are watching

I am who I have always been
Little girl lost in every crowd
Frightened by all the voices loud
Too many people watching

I am who I have always been 
Little girl writing in her room
Escaping to quiet solitude
Where my eyes can be watching

                The one who I would like to be
                Still out there, still eluding me
                Little girl serving joyously
                No care for who is watching

I am who I have always been
Little girl searching for the truth
Grounded in faith in He who’s good
And in the One Who’s watching

A native Coloradoan, Janet Fichter writes to inspire readers to take a balcony view of life's events to gain a broader, more spiritual perspective. Her Finding Mary blog (wordpress.com) contains her favorite pieces of both non-fiction and poetry.  Additionally, her prose, fiction and poetry, has appeared in published periodicals, and collections of poetry and narratives (Fireside, Simon & Schuster and World Poetry Movement). Having served in a variety of church ministries and in a long career as a public education teacher and coach, she is now retired and pursuing God’s call to share the truths He has written on her heart.
