  Being Short

By: Isabella Castro

School: ER Taylor

 

Being short doesn't affect me.

When I’m at my house there's nothing I can't reach.

I have someone to always help me,

being short doesn't affect me!

 

Being short doesn't affect me.

If there's thing below you can’t reach

I  can always take a much shorter bridge…

I know at some point I will grow,

but for now, being short is what I know.

 

Sometimes I wish I was taller.

But i'm fine, just a little smaller.

I’m happy with the size of my height.

I still get to see the crows,

flying high in the skies.
