Countdown “I Am” Poem – Chapters 11-20

I Am

I am honest and caring
I wonder what it would be like to travel in space
I hear the countdown begin
I see planets and stars whirling past
I want to be an astronaut
I am honest and caring

I pretend to fly
I feel weightless and free
I touch the endless blue sky
I worry about my family
I cry when mom is disappointed in me
I am honest and caring

I understand that sometimes it’s best to play along with Uncle Otts
I say the atom is our friend
I dream of being like John Glenn
I try to do the right thing
I hope to make all of my dreams come true
I am honest and caring
