I Am



I am smart but still learning
I wonder why this Worlds still turning
I hear people critize their friends
I see some still make it
Through thick and thin
I want to keep friendship flames burning
I am smart but still learning
I pretend to be happy when things bother me
I hear people spread rumors and wonder if that's what they see
I get into God's heart whenever I pray
I worry how long my parents
Are on Earth to stay
I cry for my Grandpa.  I'm still yearning
I am smart but still learning
I trust in God and know He's always there
I say if you know me, then you know how much I care
I dream of having a family someday
I hope soon God will be returning
I think that I will do just fine
I am smart but still learning
