Who are you?
———————-
You are not your name
Nor the colour of your skin
You are not your fame
Or the face thats so akin!
You are not your age
Nor the belly that you sport
You are not a sage
Or the words, that you quote!
You are not a weight
Nor the dimple in your cheeks
Your are not the might
Or the lighter one who seeks!
You are the books you read
And the wisdom hence you show
You are, the love you breed
And the way that people know!
You are that mouth that smiles
While all the teeth are gone
You are the ship that sails
While stormy seas rage on!
You are what you believe
And the song you sing so loud
You are the marks you leave
And the soul thats never proud!
