"I AM" POEMS

I am caring and loving

I wonder at how lucky I am compared to the people in the Tsunami

I hear them crying for help

I see their pictures on the news

I want to go over there and help them

I am caring and loving.

I pretend I am in the Tsunami

I feel like I am going to die

I touch the fish in the water

I worry about my family

I cry out for help

I am caring and loving.

I understand how they feel

I say we should give more money to them

I dream about the giant waves

I try not to think about it

I hope it will never happen again

I am caring and loving.

- By Sunnie

I am kind and generous

I wonder how my family felt when I was born

I hear my brother yelling at me

I want to be the smartest in the family

I see the graze on my leg

I am kind and generous.

I pretend I am hurt

I would feel the pain

I touch the cut carefully

I worry it will get infected

I cry because I am in pain

I am generous and kind.

I understand I got it by falling off my bike

I say it really, really, really  hurts

I dream the graze gets so-so-so-so-so sore

I try to ride my bike without falling off

I hope I don't fall

I am generous and kind.

I am shy and kind

I wonder how God made the earth

I hear my budgie squawking

I see a unicorn in the clouds

I want a budgie of my own

I am shy and kind.

I pretend to be a kangaroo

I feel a friend in my heart

I touch a unicorn

I worry about Harry

I cry because I'm sent to my room

I am shy and kind.

I understand that God is real

I say I believe in Santa

I dream about burglars

I try to do my best at school

I hope I get a kitten

I am shy and kind.

- By Rachel

I am happy and loving

I wonder about travelling in a rocket

I hear a unicorn laughing

I see a pretend mermaid

I want to go to Disneyland

I am happy and loving.

I pretend to be a mermaid princess

I feel fairy wings on my back

I touch the red roses

I worry about people making me angry

I cry when I fall down

I am happy and loving.

I understand that I love my family

I say, "I love you" to them

I dream about going to Perth

I try hard to play soccer

I hope to go to the moon in a rocket

I am happy and loving.

I am generous and kind

I wonder how war started

I hear the guns going

I see the people running into each other

I want to help with the war

I am generous and kind.

I pretend to ride a motor bike

I feel very hot

I touch my teddy bear

I worry about my friends

I cry because I'm so hot

I am generous and kind.

I understand that I can help with the war

I say "That's all right"

I dream that I died in the war

I try not to dream

I hope my dad doesn't go to war

I am generous and kind.

- By Nick

I am kind and friendly

I wonder what it is like in the future

I hear my toys yelling in my ear

I see my toys laugh and giggle

I want my own horse

I am kind and friendly.

I pretend I am not scared

I feel my kitten cuddling me

I touch my kitten's soft fur

I worry about my family

I cry tears of joy

I am kind and friendly.

I understand if I win or lose

I say there should be no more wars

I dream that I have a horse

I try to win the cross country

I hope I have a good life

I am kind and friendly.
