I am selfless
I help when I can
I'm not bragging
I'm just me
Always happy to lend a hand
I am grateful
For all those things that I have
I'm not rich
I love who I am
I am resourceful
I have no complaints
I can make a dollar here and there
And give it all away
I am a jokester
I will make you laugh
Acting silly is nothing
Always happy to see you laugh
I am full of life
Serious when it's needed
But most of all
I'm me and I am always strong
And I love being me
I am me.
Michele Ann Nepinak
