I AM

I am a loving warrior. I wonder about the future. I hear people calling. I see children running and playing. I touch a child's face. I want to become a nurse. I am a loving warrior. I pretend words don't hurt me. I believe you should say what you feel. I feel my heart beat in my chest. I worry about starving children. I cry when I get a broken heart. I am a loving warrior. I understand situations if you show them to me. I say what I feel and what's in my heart. I dream about saving people's lives. I try to make a difference in the world. I hope my heart will lead me in the right direction. I am a loving warrior.
