Breydon's Poem

Breydon's 6th grade class is currently working on poems. He just wrote this poem and I thought it was amazing, heartbreaking and profound! So I am sharing it because I am so proud of him...

I Am

I am a cool soccer player

I wonder how the world spins

I hear echoing sounds in the dead of night

I see darkness in the day

I want to be ruler of all things

I am a cool soccer player

I pretend that I am a wrestler

I feel the weight of the universe on my shoulders

I touch the heart of others

I worry only about me

I cry for nothing

I am a cool soccer player

I understand that all people do things they regret

I say no one should cry from despair

I dream of becoming the richest person that has ever lived

I try to care about everybody

I hope everybody will know me in ten years

I am a cool soccer player

Some of these statements break my heart while others make me so happy I want to dance! (which would be a treat for all of you to watch lol) I am so lucky to have such a caring son and I cherish every moment I have with him.
