Creating Art

I am a child...

I am not a race
I am a face.

I am not a color.
I am like no other.

I am not a possession
I am an obsession.

I am not a country
I am the free.

Look at me
and you will see
All that life
is meant to be.

I am not perfect
but sit beside me for awhile
and then you will know
That I am a child.



This one I wrote for Sandy Hook, Connecticut and all the families

 

I am a child

I said to my mother.

Take good care of my

Sister and Brother.

 

I am a child

I said to my dad.

Please don’t forget me

You are the best I ever had.

 

I am a child

I said to my teacher.

I want to learn

And to be a good leader.

 

I am a child

I said to the man.

As he stood in my classroom

With a gun in his hand.

 

I am a child

I said to the angels ‘round the Heavenly Throne.

As they opened their arms

To welcome me home.                                      

Rest in Peace Sweet Angels. Gone but NEVER forgotten....
