A Great Poem I Had to Share

I Love Being Me

by Gemma Hayton

I can't run the fastest

I can't swim the sea

I can't type the quickest

but I love being me

I can't kick a ball

or even climb a tree

I can't roll in the grass

but I still love being me

You see, this is my life

as others would see

they don't know what it's like

to really be me

So next time I'm about

rolling down the street

don't think of me disabled

but someone cool to meet

I have lots I can teach you

I have loads I can share

you will never gain my wisdom

if you just point and stare

So maybe I can't run the fastest

maybe I can't kick a ball

but I wouldn't change being me

not for you, not at all
