I am who I am

... a poem by Russel Kelfer ...

You are who you are for a reason

You're part of an intricate plan

You're a precious and perfect unique design,

Called God's special woman or man

You look like you look for a reason

Our God made no mistake

He knit you together within the womb,

You're just what he wanted to make

The parents you had were the ones he chose,

And no matter how you may feel,

They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,

And they bear the Master's seal

No, that trauma you faced was not easy,

And God wept that it hurt you so;

But it was allowed to shape your heart

So that into his likeness you'd grow

You are who you are for a reason,

You've been formed by the Master's rod

You are who you are, beloved,

Because there is a God!
