More

More than my height, my width, my weight

The parts I adore and the bits I hate

More than the frame of skin and bone

The knees that grind, the joints that moan

I’m more

More than the steady beat of my heart

The blood that flows life to impart

More than the scars that mark my skin

And the injury that’s deep within

I’m more

More than my thoughts, intentions, will

Secret desires unchecked that spill

More than the words tossed from my tongue

Some that healed and othes that stung
I'm more

More than the gifts that I possess

Love and rage, my soul express

More than my fears, the things I dread

The dreams once real that now seem dead

I’m more

I’m more than what your eyes can see

For God Almighty dwells in me

He adds Himself to all I am

And carries high this tiny lamb

I’m more
