I Am

poem by: Michael Wise
Written on Jan 17, 2017

I am young
 and I am old
 I am cautious
 I am bold

 I am first
 and I am last
 I am slow
 and then I'm fast

 I am black
 and I am white
 I forgive
 though I am right

 I'm the best
 and I'm the worst
 I am blessed
 and I am cursed

 I am man
 and woman too
 I am me
 and I am you

 I am short
 and I am tall
 I am none
 and I am all
