I Am Sally

I am confident and sporty
I wonder about the past
I hear raindrops on a tin roof
I see my dog in the sky
I want to see the future.

I pretend I am with my dog again
I feel tears run down my cheek
I worry about life
I cry for my dog
I am confident and sporty.

I understand people make mistakes
I say everyone should have rights
I dream of going to Africa again
I try to help people in need
I am confident and sporty.
