Who I Am



I was born on a Wednesday at 8:42
December 8th 1982
Named Laura Elizabeth Flora
A name that Rhymes,
A name that shines

I am Laura a crown of joy
A lady of victory
Whom the devil can not destroy

I am Elizabeth
The Lord is my oath
He keeps His promises
The words that He spoke
He made me and loves me for who I am
I am His daughter,
He is my Abba Father, God of abundance

I am Flora
A radiant flower that blooms
And when I think about Jesus
It makes me swoon

I am a Dancer,
A writer,
A Poet,
He made me creative
Right from my mother's womb
I am fearfully and wonderfully made

A woman of beauty
A woman of grace
I am Beloved
I am My Name

I am Laura Elizabeth Flora
Completely Surrendered
To the one who counts the hairs
On my head
