I Am... Poem by SarahLaney Long

I am a child at heart.
I wonder if Alf is an animal.
I hear 'How to get to sesame Street', but I don't have directions.
I see Mr. Rogers change his shoes and wonder if I should too.
I want to be either the Pink or Yellow power ranger.

I am a child at heart
I pretend I'm a Ninjia Turtle
I feel scared when I see ET
I look for Waldo in his mixed up world.
I worry if the boogie man really hides either in my closet or under my bed.
I sometimes believe that I am made of sugar and spice and everything nice.

I am a child at heart
I understand that if I lie, my nose won't grow.
I say, 'one day my prince will come'.
I dream of munchkinland and ruby red slippers.
I'll try green eggs and ham, maybe.
I hope I fly way to Neverland.

I am a child at heart.
