The Way I Am

Ma. Theresa L. Bulabos 1999 (Tagbilaran City, Bohol)



I am like that of a flower
I rise up and sometimes go lower
Sun is my strength that gives me power
It strengthens me even when I grow older.

God was the one who created me
He made my life like that of the sea
I have waves that can destroy the entire me
But it was only positivity that I can see.

My attitude is like that of a belt
I can adjust and make my prode melt
And everywhere I go, I can dwelt
I can also live without too much wealth.

I know that my soul is so strong
I can deal when something went wrong
God gave me melodies and made my life like a song
Always on the beat that problems never last long.
