I am

I am

I am smart and good at gymnastics
I wonder what dogs are saying when they bark
I hear sounds of my old cat
I see clouds
I want my old cat Cheeky Monkey back
I am smart and good at gymnastics

I pretend I am a millionaire
I feel like a bird sometimes
I touch my cat Mischief
I worry that I won't live to an old age
I cry when I hear about my relatives or pets that have died
I am smart and good at gymnastics

I understand that we won't live forever
I say to try and try again
I dream about myself, friends, family and pets
I try my best to succeed in school
I hope that me and my brother can become closer when we are older
I am smart and good at gymnastics

I love this poem and am so proud of Amanda for being able to put her feelings into such expressive words.
