Free To Be Me
by
Sherry Ermish
I may not be a millionaire
Or own a mansion by the sea
But I am very rich because
You see I am just me
I do not need the fame
Or my name in marquee lights
I am just a human being
And I know that I’m all right
Maybe I’m not what you hoped
That I would someday be
But I am truly wonderful
And I wish that you could see
I have a heart of gold inside
If you would take the time to look
I don’t need to prove myself
I try to follow the Good Book.
Now I know that I’m not perfect
But not one of us can say
That we have never erred
Or been blindly led astray
All of us have troubles
That we’d rather not admit
But we can overcome
If we truly do commit
I give the gift of me
To everyone I meet
I try to make a difference
In the people that I greet
Please accept me as I am
Don’t change a thing in me
I am doing just fine this way
So please believe in me
I only want your love
Without conditions added on
I know that I am different
But that doesn’t mean I’m wrong
I love the beauty in this life
The things that God has given
I find my joy in simple things
Like birds and flowers and heaven
I ask that you just hold me close
Know that my love is strong
We all are special gifts of God
And I know that I belong.
