That is who I am



That is who I am
I am one of my
Father's child
He is the one that
Created me in his image
59 years ago
And in God's eyes
I am a beautiful man
Also, he made me
Into a disabled man
Also I am very special
To my siblings
My siblings love me
The way I am
And we get along just fine
I am not the youngest child of
My father
I am the oldest child of my
Father
The youngest children are now
Teenager and I can't believe
How fast they are growing into
Youth
When I was a teenager, I had my
Confirmation
And my siblings were not even
Born yet
When I received the news from
My father
That I was going to have
Some siblings in my life
I felt very thrilled about  it
Today I am an adult
And my father had chosen me to
Be his poet
I am every day sitting in my
Living
And working away on my computer
Writing poems for my father
I work all day writing poems
For my father
When the clock chimes at 8:00 pm
I stop working
And I go out for an evening
Walk
Just around the block
Then I go back home again
Because I am already tired
Now is time for me to pray
For my father
In my prayer, I ask my father
To keep me alive
Every day and also to give me
A good night's sleep
The next morning comes early
And I am up by them
Also, I go to my living room
Again
I sit again in front of my computer
And I start to work for my
Father
I start to write new poems
The feelings that I use in my
Poems
Come straight from my heart
I have dark feelings
Now I am back writing dark poems
Yes, Father they are also very depressing
Yes, Father I am so happy that
You keep me alive every single day
Here on earth
I also Father love to live on earth
The life that you gave to me
Father, I never complain to you
About my life
I am very happy living the life
You gave me
Yes, father you made all the
Seasons for the to live in
I love the Summer
And you are going to end the
Summer soon
I always feel sad when I have to say
Goodbye to Summer
Because I just love the Summer very
Much
Now the birds have migrated south
For the Winter
And I will only see them again
Next Spring
Also I already miss the birds
My Father
This morning you ended the Summer
We already have changed the clocks
Back one hour
Also, tomorrow is the first day of
Fall
You ended the hot weather
And brought for me the cold weather
Now I started to wear my Winter
Clothes again
I put away my Summer clothes
Already back in my closet
Yes, the leaves on the trees are changing
Their color from green to gold
Some trees have already lost their leaves
And the dead leaves of the trees
Lay on the ground
People are racking the dead leaves
And putting inside the garden bags
Also, the days are getting shorter
Now
At 5:00 PM it gets dark
And the night arrives
I just hate that my Father
I also find it very depressing
Today I am already tired
There is nothing else to do
I am going to sleep now
I must pray to my father
Thanks for keeping me alive
My Father
Now I am going to sleep
First I shut my mind off
Then I shut my eyes
And I start to dream away
While I sleep
I dream with Mother Salsbury
She helps me deal with my
Daily problems
And give me good advice
Today I start to pray
