What am I Today?

I'm a son, a brother, a bother,
     a cousin, a nephew, an uncle, a dozen,
     a husband, and a father. In short, a family man.
I'm famous with that crowd.
I'm allowed to be loud or quiet. I'm a son-of-a-gun. POW!
I'm lucky. I'm a friend and an enemy. I'm a virgo.
I'm a peacemaker. I'm spent.
I'm heaven-sent.

I'm just over seven years of bad luck. I'm still stuck.
I'm a love-letter sender, a never-ender, both a borrower and a lender.

I'm a teacher, a preacher, a far-reacher.
I'm something that helped make you
      the creature from the black lagoon
      in another life.

I'm too soon and too later. I'm a hater,
     a hook-baiter. Just wait.

I'm a successor.
I'm a failure, I'm sure.
I'm an undiscovered cure.

I'm a winner, a loser, a finisher,
     a diminisher, a world traveler,
     an unraveler. See?

I'm Finnish (partly), Italian (some), American (mostly),
     that's where I'm from.

I'm only just begun.

I'm lonely.
I'm not the only one.

I'm so much--
