I Say it out Loud!!

Great,
I AM
Terrific,
POETRY IS MY ESCAPE!!!
I AM
Happy,

I Try to
BE STRONG, and
PUSH RIGHT ON THROUGH,
Times can be TOUGH,
Trials can BE BAD, but
I have
No Worries, and
FROM THIS
I AM GLAD!!!
I AM
A SIBLING,
A COUSIN and
A FRIEND,

There's no
TIME TO BE SAD,

I WILL PUSH TOWARDS THE FUTURE,
and LEAVE BEHIND THE PAST,
I'LL JUST WEAR A BIG SMILE, and
BE THANKFUL FOR
ALL THAT I HAVE,
I WILL CARRY MYSELF WITH DIGNITY,
I say this because,
I AM!!!
