Know who You Are

Know Who You Are

How can you know who you are?

Does anyone really care?

How can anyone say who they are?

I guess it depends who is there.

Ask my sister, she'll say, a sister,

Someone to help and love,

Someone to patch up a blister,

Someone free as a dove.

Ask my daughter, they'll say, a Mother,

Someone who loves them when bad,

Someone like no other,

Holds them when they feel sad.

Ask my husband, he'll say a wife,

Someone to talk to,

To spend all his life,

Who loves me for all I do.

Ask my niece, she'll say an Aunty,

Someone who's always there,

Someone who loves me,

Who always cares.

Ask my Cat, she'll say a soft pillow,

Someone who feeds me,

Says hello,

Strokes me and loves me.

Ask my friends, they'll say a friend,

Someone who understands no matter what,

Who's there to the end,

Shows me the good I've got.

But ask me, and I just don't know,

How can I possibly see,

Is there someone who will show,

The good inside of me?

I am a sister, A Mother, A wife,

these things I will be,

For all of my life.

I am an Aunty and a pillow so soft,

I am a friend who asks how you are,

And waits for an answer

To help heal your scars.

But the best thing I am,

The only thing that counts,

Is that I am ME,

Of that I have no doubt.
