I Am

I thought that I would share one of my favorite songs and favorite artists with you this morning.  I love Neil Diamond.  I got to see him in person and loved his show.  It is hard to pick which song I love the most, but if I have to it would be his sad song I am.  Maybe it is because I used to be lost, but I found myself and my words are much happier now.  I can say I am awesome, I am unique, I am special, I am loved.  Life is great. It should be your life work to know yourself and your great worth. I would rewrite I Am to say:

I am, I said
To God whose there
And He has heard it all
We make a great pair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I'm not lost, and I can say why
Leaving me loved still

Be happy, you are awesome, unique, special and loved.  God bless you and yours.

I Am 
by Neil Diamond
LA's fine, the sun shines most the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
LA's fine, but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

I am, I said
I am, I cried
I am...
