Analysis of Who, What Am I.

Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)



I am your inspiration,
I live within your dreams,
I have given unto you,
All your daily needs,

I bring to you happiness,
Good tidings to abide,
A smile upon your face,
Love within your eyes,

I hear all your laughter,
And even all your fears,
I carry you on homeward,
Throughout the golden years,

I stand by you forever,
Keeping up the pace,
I fill your heart with gladness,
I truly am your faith.
