What Becomes Me

I have become everything that becomes me.

A thoughtful thinker.

A passionate flower smeller.

My own careful caretaker.

Clara Barton to what hurts in me.

Sojourner Truth of my soul freedom.

Margaret Sanger of my own body.

Golda Meir to the country of myself.

My embassy has walls of compassion

and all are welcome so long

as they remove their shoes and listen

as much as they speak.
