Being Human (Version 2)A Poem by HappyOddGirlI wrote a non-rhyming version of this poem first, then found a rhyming version coming to me as well. Most people seem to prefer the rhyming version, but both are posted on my website. :)BEING HUMAN (Version 2) I don't exist to please a man, Wield cleaning cloth and frying pan, Nor worship kids or a career " These things are not why I am here! I don't want to manipulate, Nor master, rule or dominate. I do not want to lose myself, In family or in seeking wealth. I am no seductive temptress, Nor angelic household empress; No machine promotion-taker Nor a patent baby-maker! I'm a human, that is all; With my own life, and my own Call. I am a complex mix of things: Of interests, traits and ponderings. I'm sometimes weak and sometimes strong; I'm sometimes right and sometimes wrong. I want fulfilment, just like you: To do what God wants me to do. To use my skills and use them well - The freedom just to be myself! My purpose is to please my Lord: To be myself " complete, restored! To give what only I can give And show His love by how I live. © Ruth
