I Am
Lela Carbin

I am honest and respectable.
I wonder what makes people tick.
I hear books laughing.
I see pink elephants.
I want a million dollars.
I am honest and respectable.

I pretend I am riding in a hot air balloon.
I feel skeptical about unicorns.
I touch fuzzy wood.
I worry about the future of my family.
I cry when thinking of deceased loved ones.
I am honest and respectable.

I understand the treasure found in living.
I say “Life is what you make it.”
I dream about being on the Oprah Winfrey show.
I try to enhance my computer skills.
I hope love will conquer the world.
I am honest and respectable.
