My Life

By Neftaly Paredes

E.R. Taylor

 4th Grade

 

I’m happy when I play soccer 

I feel so happy in my life

It was my brothers birthday!!

Such a fun time!!!

 

I feel tired of running

But I wont give up!!

My teammates keep cheering up

And I will not give up on that!!!

 

When I get a gift. I’m happy

You can see me smile and shine

I shine like the brightest star

To reach me you’ll have to jump high!!!!

 

If I get surprised I jump in fright

I get the hiccups but I don’t cry

When I read a book it’s interesting

I go on adventures, I play up in the sky!!!

 

My life I spend it so happy

Specially on holidays

My family gathers to celebrate

I am happy with my life
