A poem by my daughter

“I Am…”

I Am, a dancer who has lots of friends.
I wonder if the world will have peace.
I hear the animals roar in there homes.
I see the world full of beautiful trees.
I Am, a dancer who has lots of friends.

I pretend that I’m a dance teacher, though I am not.
I feel happy when the audience claps at a dance competition.
I touch the wind blowing through my hair.
I worry that if I don’t believe in myself, I won’t succeed.
I cry when I see my grandma suffer walking.
I Am, a dancer who has lots of friends.

I understand that you and I can’t always have our ways.
I say you can do it if you have confidence in yourself.
I dream that one day I will fulfill my dreams.
I try to understand the hard things in life.
I hope that one day this will all come true.
I Am, a dancer who has lots of friends.
