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.
