I Am

I found this in my poetry journal from ninth grade English.


I am quiet and caring.
I wonder why my uncle's sick,
I hear God tell me it's ok.
I see Him in my dreams.
I want to understand everything.
I am quiet and caring.

I pretend that my brother is still alive,
I feel that he has wings;
I touch them in my dreams.
I worry that he won't know me in Heaven.
I cry when I think of that.
I am quiet and caring.

I understand that my uncle has cancer.
I say there is still hope.
I dream that I can fly to Heaven.
I try to do my best for God.
I hope that I please Him.
I am quiet and caring.
