I am

I am smart and athletic.
I wonder how to cook.
I hear music.
I want my dad to win the lottery.
I am smart and athletic.
I feel the warmth of the farm.
I touch the cold ice.
I worry about the wrong choice.
I cry about the Ram’s loss.
I am smart and athletic.
I understand that everyone dies.
I say I believe in Christ.
I dream of a starting position on the Hayden football team.
I try to be the best I can.
I hope to be the best I can.
I am smart and athletic.
