Work-Hard, Proud-of ME

Working hard at karate, swimming (I’m a super-DUPER good swimmer!),
camping into the middle of the night –
I’m proud of these. AND my daddy walking!
Learning how to play tag, and to double-knot my shoes, are golden proud treasures.
I can sing!
I can finish a hundred-piece puzzle,
watch scary movies (huh-a-huh-a-huh) –
I can be an actor and a book writer, a train puzzle maker.
Doing chores, cleaning my room,
learning
to jump in the pool, ride a blue angel,
to be a firefighter, to waterslide,
to drive a car –
These things will make me proud someday
With someone’s help, I can learn how to fly!
Brrrrehhhhh!!
