(poems go here) I am


(poems go here) I am from warm weather, Crystal clear water, And white sandy beaches, That’s where am from. Am from climbing trees, Swinging on vines, Riding bikes And jumping chini skip, That’s where am from. Am from a world of reggae; Singing and dancing on the streets, Laughing and sharing memories. Memories of our parent’s childhood, Memories of times past That’s where am from. Am from a world of a village raises a child, a child got in trouble and, The neighborhood would scold the child But it paid off in the long run For that child did the best he could in life That’s where am from. Am from a world were on the outside Life looked easy But within, Each person had to work hard for what they got Nothing came easy and no one expected it to be We worked hard for what we accomplished And enjoying that; was just as sweet That’s where am from Am from the world of the wise Do unto others what you wish to be done unto you. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer A stitch in time saves nine. In what ever you do give it your all That’s where am from.
