Just Being Kids
by Icys Fahnbulleh
I Love Being a Kid!
by Carson
I love being a kid!
I can play,
I can dream,
I can run,
I can jump.
I can rock,
never stop,
play video games,
and get free stuff.
We have time,
we have money,
we have friends,
we have family.
I love being a kid!

As A Kid

Being a Kid
by Josh Massey
Being a kid is really fun
because when you go outside and run run run.
It is like the best
and when you get tired you can rest rest rest.
Being a kid is really awesome
because probably you might get a pet possum.
Being a kid is totally exciting
because if you have night vision goggles
you can go spying.
If being a kid isn’t about fun to you
or fun to me
maybe it’s about life and family.
Maybe its about the happy times,
and flicking dimes.
I Like Me
by Amber Davis
I like me
Because I am
Special and I
Am good I
Like me that’s why.
Why It’s Great to Be a Kid
by Elijah Zimmerman
It’s great to be a kid
even after all the things you forbid.
Your dad still loves you
and your mom still loves you.
That’s why it’s great to be a kid.
And when your mom and dad
trying to give you the life
that they never had.
That’s why it’s great to be a kid.
Invincible
by Mr. Brent
Kids are invincible,
fearless and free,
running and jumping, and climbing a tree.
Kids are incredible,
thoughtful and kind,
always sure no one gets left behind.
Kids are unstoppable,
heroic and strong,
playing creating, or writing a song.
Kids are imaginative,
mindful and sincere,
dreams that fill every day of the year.
Dream bigger each day,
and never lose sight.
Keep climbing and soaring with all of your might.
