for the Who I Am - Updated Poetry Contest of Constance La France/ 11/23/24

Study reveals new insights into the dynamics of meandering rivers -  Earth.com

“A meandering river, I flow through this life, over its many plains, as well as its low valleys and high peaks, learning and loving much along the way.” - by author Those who know me should know exactly who I am, for I show my flaws as well as my strengths in things I say or do. I’m the product of my culture and things taught me. I’m a wife, sister, mother, teacher and true friend, but there is more to it than that. I’m a daughter of God; He made me who I am. Before my birth, God knew me, and he knows my fate. A meandering river, I keep on growing and changing paths. Ever I’m learning from new experiences. A seeker of truth and a warrior of words, toward the inevitable I flow (knowing both joy and pain) back to my home.

When you are meandering do you see the geese And gander swing, low o'er your silted bed of Strife glinting with colour in sparkles bright.' Do Splash the picnicing swain with maid?? Or maidens if he (is extra brave?) Do you talk? to the Wind that makes your wave? Do you shout Geronimo at the falls on your ways.' Would you Make a loop around? if i came to see.' What tone is your Chortle? I fain to hear and see.' I hope you are Darn well smiling btw.!!

Not a godly person, but I like others to be, just in case I need a quick prayer on my behalf. Belief does make ones journey stronger, so can't be a bad thing.

I am not all that godly. Believe me. Just trust in God, pray and be kind and forgiving. I left my church because of things I don't agree with. I just have faith God loves me.

Indeed, God knows us before we know ourselves -- thinks us valuable enough to call us his children. I constantly remind myself to respect such honor. Always try to live up to expectations. From failures can come helpful reevaluations. Graceful, positive read.

So beautifully written. You have bared yourself in the most sincere way. More than everything, you are a daughter of God. I love it. I too believe that more than anybody, I am a child of God.
