Psalm-Sonnet 8: Who Am I?

I am not Adam, the first man of dust.
Nor am I Noah, whose ark was a zoo.
I am not Abraham, willing to trust.
Nor am I Joseph, whose dreams all came true.
I am not Moses at Passover feast.
Nor am I Joshua, Jericho-bound.
I am not Samuel, prophet and priest.
Nor am I David, by Samuel crowned.
I am not Solomon, wise beyond all.
Nor am I Daniel, the dream analyst.
I am not Peter, and I am not Paul.
No, I'm not in that elite chosen list.
Oh, but I've no need to ask "Who am I?"
I am a child of the Father Most High.
