I Am the Sun

By Katherine Duarte 

I am the sky.
I am clear without a cloud.
When my friends ask me for advice, I am clear in my response.

I am a rock.
I am very quiet.
I don’t like to move as much.
I like being home because I don’t have to do anything.

I am the sun.
I can say that I bring light to a dark room.
I am a bright leader: I lead my friends into doing good things.
When they are talking to themselves very loudly, I tell them to stop. 

I am a seed.
I grow every day into a young lady.
You know I’m growing when you hear boom.
I grow every day in many different ways.
I grow in my knowledge, in my friendships with people, and in my role as a daughter, sister, best
friend, and many more.
