I AM...

I am like the sun, hoping to make the day brighter
I wonder what my future looks like
I hear the sound of the rain leaving the sky
I see the stars appearing one by one
I want a life full of laughter
I am like the sun hoping to make the day brighter
I pretend that I'm not intimidated by others
I feel the pain of the sick
I touch the precious hands of a newborn
I worry about the amount of violence in the world
I cry for those I've lost
I am like the sun, hoping to make the day brighter
I understand the hard time someone is going through
I say that everyone is different
I dream of being the best I can be
I try to put smiles on other's faces
I hope for a beautiful heaven
I am like the sun, hoping to make the day brighter
