I Am  a poem by Elizabeth, age 9

 

I am a spirited girl who loves the world

I wonder what is forever like

I hear my own memory whispering to me

I see the world

I want to travel everywhere

I am a spirited girl who loves the world.

 

I pretend to be where I'm not

I feel the world in my hands

I touch life

I worry about everything scary to me

I cry for the world

I am a spirited girl who loves the world.

 

I understand the needs of people

I say what I feel

I dream of being queen of the world

I try to do my best

I hope to see everyone being kind

I am a spirited girl who loves the world!
