Spreading my wings

I will tread water

In the Gulf of Mexico.

I will climb the Alps

And visit Rome.

I'll speak fluent French

As I tour the Eiffel Tower,

I'll fly across the sky,

Then go dancing past the hour.

I'll stand on the hills of Ireland.

Afterwards, walk on the moon.

I'll see castles of England

From a hot air balloon.

I'll climb to the top of the world

And discover new things everyday.

I'll have exciting adventures,

Maybe even catch some rays.

And when I feel tired and exhausted

After learning so many new things,

I'll slowly turn the other way,

Take off and spread my wings.

This is a poem I wrote when I was 13 years old. 

So glad that 17 years later I am following through!
