(i do anyway Big Grin) i like the 'I am' at the end, it gives me a few seconds to think about the poem and i get a feel it's an introspective of you or the 1st person liking themselves. the main problem are the cliche each line is a common phrase try and use original images (three things no one else has said)
I had a feeling it would be too little. I was aiming for simplicity, because I thought it'd fit with my theme of how the smallest things can matter a lot. But I completely get what you're saying. I have to come up with a way to say it in a more interesting way. Thanks for taking the time Smile

The original poem had some words, that I couldn't find matching English words for. Not that it should be an excuse of course Wink I consider expanding the thought behind the poem, so it doesn't seem so flat. Rephrasing, adding a few more lines, and some depth.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment Smile
