Cailey's Poetry

With Cailey's permission, I am posting a poem she wrote. You may already know that she has a very deep, very pronounced, creative streak running through her, but did you know that she loves to write poetry/verses/songs in her journal? She won't always share them, but she agreed to share this one ~ as long as I typed it just as she wrote it ~ geesh...what's that about?

I
I am...helpful and special.
I wonder...why the sky is blue.
I hear...the blue birds sing.
I see...the sunset.
I want...everyone to be happy.
I am...helpful and special.

I pretend...to walk on the beach.
I feel...wonderful.
I touch...a kitten's fur.
I worry...about people who don't have friends.
I cry...about all dead things.
I am...helpful and special.

I understand...what some people feel.
I say...everyone needs to have a friend.
I dream...people love me.
I try...to work my hardest.
I hope...you are thankful and caring.
I am...helpful and special.
