Poets Corner: I Am
I am
I am the clouds you see in the sky
I am the wings that make you fly,
I am the soil that makes the ground
I am a beat listen to my pound,
I am the candy at Good Ship Lollypop
I am the sore feet that never ever stop,
I am the water that flows on the shore
I am the hot weather and I want more,
I am the money I spend on most things
I am the Tabernacle at 12:00 I ring,
I am the music from the violin at night
I am Sunset Lake where the ducks take flight,
I am the xooter that many kids ride
I am the wild girl that hides inside,
I am the ice cream I lick on some days
I am the porch swing where people lay,
I am the joy I share with my friends
I am Martha's Vineyard where the fun never ends!!!
