The poet in all of us

This was poem was written by a dedicated and intelligent seven-grader who just happens to be my son.

TheDoer

 

I am a doer

I wonder how to do new things

I hear the voices of people through history

I see pictures of the future

I want to do more always

 

I pretend to be someone

to see how it feels

I feel like an eagle, ready to dive

I touch something that is not there

I laugh at the bird,

as he does a little dance.

I worry for the things that cannot fend for themselves

 

I understand I cannot do everything

I say that people should not hate

I dream about things that happened before

I try to do more everyday

I hope that hate will be stopped

I am a doer
