I Am Man

I am man alone
I am half

I am dad
I am whole

I am single
but not at all

I dream when I sleep
I cry and I weep

I am alone
sometimes
I laugh, I smile
a minute, a moment, a while

I cook and I clean
I’m nice and I’m mean
I can live through the day
with nothing to say

I can leave
I can stay

I can be happy and rest in peace
care for my daughter and live at ease

Alone
I could be
but I am not
Single
I could be
but I am not

I am whole
I am dad
I am father
I am half
I am man
I am lover
I am alone
but not lost

by choice I am yours
by choice at your feet
I am whole and I am half
you make me complete
