In The Words Of A Child Poem by B.J. Ayers

My name is Aaron, and this is my head,
I’m a good boy, that’s what my mom said,

This is my nose, it has two holes,
It feels real bad, when I have colds,

These are my eyes, I have two,
My mom says, they’re pretty, and blue,

This is my mouth, for candy to go.
My mom says, I eat real slow,

This is my tooth, I only have one,
One day I’ll have more, that’ll be fun,

This is my arm and this is my hand,
I have another one, to play in the sand

This is my tummy, it has a hole,
Mom says I eat like a mole,

This is my leg, right here you see,
I have another one, right here on me,

This is my foot, there it is right there,
This is another one, I think it’s called a pair,

My mom says I have a heart, it’s in here,
She says when I’m sad, that’s what makes a tear.

Mom says I have a soul, I don’t know where,
I’ve looked every where, even over there,
