A Hundred Versions

Dawn Gotwalt 1979 (Florida)

To one, I'm a mother.
To another, I'm a lover.
To others, just a friend.
To myself, A silent angel within.
Some days a monster.
On other days, a go-getter, a failure or just small.
Tomorrow a giver, just a human after all.
In the end, I'm just me.
A hundred versions, for others to recall.
