i am
by Mary K. Doyle
i am
singing hymns of praise,
reading words of revelation,
and lighting candles of hope.
i am
praying under the mantel of our mother,
resting beneath the wings of angels,
and walking with the saints.
i am
the daughter of the Father,
sister of the Son,
and shadow of the Spirit.
i am
the princess of the King,
friend of the Savior,
and temple of the Sanctifier.
i humbly bow down to
the great I AM.

Thank you, Sue. I always appreciate your thoughts on my writing. I haven’t forgotten about you. I’m still doing the trail of doctors. I hope to see things improved soon.
An invitation to know and experience God’s presence in our lives. I really liked your poem Mary.
Thank you. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to let me know what you thought of my prayer poem.
I found it wonderful to encounter devotion in your verses, Mary
Thank you. 🙂
Yes! The Lord’s name I am has been on my mind the last couple days. Love this:)
The Lord’s name is powerful, indeed, Kimberly. Thank you for commenting.

It’s beautiful. Love it! Thank you
Thank you kindly!
I love your voice, so meditative. It is full of faith and grace, thank you for sharing!🥰
Thank you for your kind comment, and welcome to Midwest Mary. I’m happy to see you here.
Heavenly words – so beautiful!
Thank you, Mary. All the best to you.
Beautiful poem and reading, Mary. I love the ending. Yesterday, I read in Exodus about God’s revelation to Moses, when He said that He was “I AM.” Such perfect timing, my friend.
Isn’t that kind of timing amazing, Edward? God is–not was or will be. He’s always present.
Absolutely, and you’re right—He is. Thank you for that important correction, my friend.
thank you, Mary: I love the uplift of this esp coming out of my ‘Lifeboat’ poem —
Thank you, John. I’m happy you and I are on the same wave.
hahaha; clever 🙂
What a beautiful and profound poem, Mary. It so reminds me of the Vedic tenets of Hindu religion. The essence of all spiritual quests is universal.
I looked up Vedic tenets of the Hindu religion and am interested in more, Geeta. Thank you, my friend.
Prayer is always part of my life. God bless, Mary! Lovely poem.
I have no doubt this is true, dear Hazel.
“shadow of the Spirit” is so evocative – fabulous poem – here’s to 2026 being as creative as possible! Linda 🙂
Thank you, Linda. Your thoughts on my work are important to me. Bless you, my friend.
Beautiful! 🙏🏻💛
The repetition of “I am” gently dissolves the self until it finally rests in the great I AM. Humble, whole, and held.
A prayer that doesn’t just speak of belief, but breathes it. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for understanding and relating to this poem. I appreciate you taking the time to read, feel, and comment. All the best to you.
🙏🏻💛
I only in my truth, Mary- you so much more than that. And just so you know- my post Increments that posted today was written with you ever so much on my mind.
Thank you, Violet. I will carefully read your work, my friend. I appreciate you.
Mary, I’m captivated by how your poem moves from hope to this deeper sense of reverence. It’s gorgeous!
Thank you, dear K. Ravindra. I am humbled by your kind words. Bless you.
Wow, love the poem. Faith is such an important part of the life of so many. It keeps us going.
