Student Poem of the Month — April 2005
 

 
I Am   © by   A.J. Jones

I am funny and honest.
I wonder what God looks like.
I hear a dog bark.
I see a fire-breathing dragon.
I want to be a Veterinarian.
I am funny and honest.

I pretend I can fly.
I feel happy and sad.
I touch a fuzzy snake.
I worry about robbers.
I cry when someone dies.
I am funny and honest.

I understand baseball.
I say God is true.
I dream I am a dragon.
I try to be a good catcher.
I hope to meet God.
I am funny and honest.
