I+am+poem-Rachel+S.

I am polite and appreciative I wonder about my family's future I hear my family laughing I want the summer to be longer I am polite and appreciative

I pretend I'm a mermaid when I'm in the water I feel the water on my skin as I dive in to it I touch a lifejacket as it keeps me secure I worry that the war will never end I cry for my country I am polite and appreciative

I understand that education is important I say I never want summer to end I dream for a rainy day I try to achieve my goal I hope for the success of my family I am polite and appreciative
