I Am Ivy

I am reliable and colourful
I wonder when you die do you come back as someone else
I hear an angels whisper
I see lily pads on a pond
I want to see the future.

I pretend no one gets hurt
I feel happiness in the air
I worry about my parents getting hurt
I cry for those who live on the street
I am reliable and colourful.

I understand no one's perfect
I say if you can't say something kind don't say it at all
I try to do my best in all I do
I hope I live for a long time
I am reliable and colourful.
