I know who I was today...
BROTHER to the weary man... persistent Bringer of smiles to the sad womans lips... Councilor to a wandering child... Holder of a broken hearted family... the blessed Benefactor of a forgotten one
ADMIRER of loves many forms... Supporter of daytime dreams... nighttime Exhorter of creation... wide eyed Observer of light and shadow... Painter of fealing words... Singer of the souls yearning... Drinker of the spirits scent... the ancient Student of a childs game
FATHER of angels... Carrier of a valley of living streams... Mentor to the protector of men... Clother of a breath of fresh air... Adventure Guide for flights of fancy... Safe Harbor for fears... Gardner for trials... the careful Waterer of youthful dreams
HUSBAND of the phoenix whose power is resurrection... Friend to the smiling child with children of her own... Companion to the redbird who skips from cloud to cloud... and the Lover of one who is like God in the summer making everything grow
YES I know who I was today...
But who will I be tomorrow... when I guard no flock... when I have no other employment to speak of... who will occupy my soul... when my sole occupation is love...
