Sheila Bryant with Friend

"I wrote this poem while studying for the GED. I thank Bread for the City and Deanna [LINK TO DD PIECE] for giving me the strength to stand. When you think you're lost and you have nowhere to go, you can come here. They listen to you, and they don't judge you. They are kind. They give you back your strength."

 

Sheila's Poem (also here: poetry.com/dotnet/P5592926/999/1/display.aspx):

 

Who Am I?

I am a creation of God from high above,

I am a creation of God given so much Love.

I am a creation of God born into the world of sin.

I am a creation of God taught never to quit within.

Who Am I?

I am a creation of God with strength to stand strong,

I am a creation of God though I may do wrong.

I am a creation of God kneeling down to pray,

I am a creation of God thanking God for another day.

Who Am I?

I am a creation of God learning the ways of life,

I am a creation of God trying to do right.

I am a creation of God giving all I can give,

I am a creation of God just wanting to live.

Who Am I?

A creation of God that's who I am!
