Identity
Who am I? Only my Heavenly Father knows.
For He created my spirit, and knew of my intelligence.
What am I? Again, He alone knows, now;
But He desires that I learn of myself. This requires eternity.
I could become a unique source
Of infinite responses to truth.
Why am i? A prism needed
Through which truth may shine
In numberless hues,
That beauty and joy may be embodied.
