Anthony's teacher told me that he wrote a poem that made her cry and so she gave it to me. Here is what goes on in an 8 year old mind--they are deep thinkers:
I am Poem
I am really good at sports.
I wonder how old I will be when I die.
I hear the ocean hit onto the shore.
I see the meadow sway like a wave.
I want to become an athlete.
I am really good at sports.
I pretend that I am in the NFL.
I believe that dreams can come true.
I touch the ground with my feet.
I feel that the Spirit is always with me.
I worry about my family every day.
I cry that my dad's dad died.
I am really good at sports.
I understand that sometimes we are grumpy.
Anthony
