Which One Is Me?

You look in the mirror and wonder quietly:
“Which one am I? Which one is me?”
Of all the “me’s” – past, present and future,
Which is the “me” that you should treasure?

The child within you still cries silently,
“Where is everyone? What is so wrong with me?”
You look for a shoulder to cry and to lean on,
But all that you find is the cold morning’s dawn.

Then all of a sudden, anger does appear,
To be quickly dispelled by sadness and fear.
Then comes compassion for your fellow man,
Only to be replaced by “Do you think I really can?”

A look of wonder, and again, one of fear,
As you ponder the trail of one lonely tear.
“Is this all there is? Is this all I’ll ever be?”
“What am I missing? What can’t I see?”

Uncertainty and doubt show up now and then,
To be chased away by a smile; see how fast they ran?
They can’t survive in the light of that smile,
You have more to travel; more than just another mile.

Though lonely you are, alone you are not!
For the shed blood on the Cross YOUR soul He had bought.
Now no one’s around, no one can hear,
But for Heavenly Father, shedding more than just one tear.

So who were you then? Who are you now?
Who will you be and will you know how?
Just ask your Heavenly Father above.
When you bask in the glow from Heavenly Love.

You don’t have to worry, you don’t have to care,
If your life you turned over – your soul you did bare.
Father, Son and Spirit is your Company;
Then you’ll have the answer to: “Which one is me?”
