Gabe's "I Am" Poem

I Am

I am honest and friendly
I wonder if I will be able to do everything I want to do
I hear goofy gorillas giggling
I see In-N-Out
I want a double-double animal style, fries animal style, and a neapolitan shake
I am honest and friendly

I pretend i can do anything
I feel that those gorillas should stop giggling and let me sleep!
I touch things and they turn to gold!!!! GOLD!!!!
I worry that I can't make everyone happy
I cry when I realize how far the nearest In-N-Out is
I am honest and friendly

I understand that I can't help everyone
I say Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.
I dream about being a great teacher
I try to be a good person
I hope to travel
I am honest and friendly


Melissa's "I Am" Poem




I Am

I am nice and caring
I wonder who I am going to marry
I hear music
I see food
I want ice cream

I am nice and caring

I pretend to fly
I feel loved
I touch the buttons
I worry about my grades
I cry at the thought of never knowing what could of been
I am nice and caring

I understand live for the moment
I say live like your dying
I dream of becoming famous
I try to get good grades
I hope to travel the world one day
I am nice and caring

Matt's "I Am" Poem


I Am

I am accepting and creative
I wonder where I will be in two years
I hear Frank Sinatra
I see today as an opportunity
I want Lo Lo's Chicken N Waffles real bad
I am accepting and creative

I pretend I can tap dance
I feel like having a cup of tea
I touch the image of tomorrow
I worry about the kind of teacher I will be
I cry for a home cooked meal
I am accepting and creative

I understand the importance of family
I say that Jesus died for my sins
I dream of writing a musical
I try to be appreciative of everyday
I hope to live abroad
I am accepting and creative

Ryan's "I Am" Poem


I Am

I am lost in thought and clever
I wonder why our alphabet is ordered
I hear the background music of the world
I see a trying but bright future
I want to be a Pokémon master
I am lost in thought and clever

I pretend I am a drumkit when I beatbox
I feel like I'm in third person when I dream
I touch everything, even when my mom told me not to
I worry about the future of the world
I cry manly tears during Toy Story 3
I am lost in thought and clever

I understand when to ask someone
I say that all it takes is time and effort
I dream about what this world really is
I try to be a generous person - it's just stuff anyway
I hope we eventually find out that we're really all the same
I am lost in thought and clever

Elyse's "I Am" Poem


I Am

I am the walrus (coo coo ca cho)
I wonder wonder wonder who? Who wrote the book of loove
I hear music, mighty fine music
I see clearly now the rain has gone
I want you to want me
I am the walrus (coo coo ca cho)

I pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars
I feel good, I knew that I would, now

I touch it-bring it-pay it-watch it-turn it-leave it-stop-format it
I worry worry worry baby, worry is all I can do
I cry at night when the lights go out and the green eyes fuse and the full moon shouts
I am the walrus (coo coo ca cho)

I understand that every life must end, aw huh
I say a little prayer for you
I dream on, dream on, dream until your dream comes true
I try to say goodbye and i choke
I hope you see that I would love to love you
I am the walrus (coo coo ca cho)

Sara's "I Am" Poem

I Am

I am clever and whimsical
I wonder about the universe
I hear the ocean wave
I see the city lights
I want to be in history books
I am clever and whimsical

I pretend that I am Batman
I feel love for the earth
I touch dew drops on flowers
I worry you aren't happy
I cry during PIXAR movies
I am clever and whimsical


I understand saying goodbye
I say May the force be with you
I dream of teaching everyone to dance
I try to help
I hope for an adventure
I am clever and whimsical
