Poems of Exceptional Child Tory B.

MY DREAM

My dream for myself is to get better.
My dream for my family is to be good to one another.
My dream for my school is to get some books for us.
My dream for my community is to be clean.
My dream for the whole world is for people to stop shooting each other.

SNOW

Lots of snow!
Hurrah, it will snow!
The snow will drop again from the sky.
It is so cute
How they look
It's fun out to play
That's all I can say.

I NEED A FRIEND





All by myself I can hide by myself


But I need a friend to find me


All by myself I can read a book
But I need a friend so we can read together
All by myself I can jump rope
But I need a friend to play rope with.



All by myself I can go to the mall
But I need a friend to go with me so we'll have fun
All by myself I can be happy
But I need a friend to be glad together
All by myself I can think of funny jokes
But I need a friend to laugh at my jokes.

I USED TO…BUT NOW I…

I used to talk a lot when I was little
But now I am a star to talk on morning shows
I used to eat all the time
But now I am on a diet
I used to play games with my cousins
But now I play no more
I used to be thin when I was 10
But now I am fat and now I am 12
I used to be a smart
But now I am smarter
I used to be short
But now I am tall
I used to be cool
But now I am funny
I used to be at Monte Elementary School
But now I am at Jefferson Junior High School
I used to be missing homework
But now I do all homework
I am Tory B.


AUTUMN AND FALL

I am Tory
I wonder if I can play with the leaves
I hear the cold wind blowing
I see pretty birds flying
I want to see orange and red leaves, and brown trees
I am fall.

I pretend I was a leaf
I feel good that fall is near
I touch red, yellow, orange, brown leaves
I cry because I said fall is gone
I am Tory.


I know that fall will come and go
I say “LOTS OF LEAVES AND TREES!”
I try to sing fall songs
I hope I can go outside and jump in the leaves
I am Tory.




Remembering 9-11

I am sad
I wonder if I will see my mother again
I hear people crying screaming
I see people jumping out the window, running for their lives
I want my mother
I am sad.

I pretend I do not hear it
I feel mad at those who attacked
I say "STOP! STOP! STOP!"
I dream of a better world I am sad.

*************************

I AM...

I am Tory
I wonder why I'm going home today
I hear someone singing out my window
I see a candy and it is good
I want some food today and eat it
I am Tory.

I pretend I am a star
I feel sad because I cannot go home right now
I touch the food when it is good
I worry about my homework everyday
I cry when I'm sad
I am Tory.

I understand people when they talk to me all the time
I say "HI" to you everyday
I dream to stop talking too much
I try to go to sleep
I hope to go to school everyday
I am Tory.
