These are a couple of poems I found in a notebook while looking through my collection of spiral notebooks.

Once In Awhile

Once in awhile I can feel the joy I knew as a child.
Once in awhile I can see myself as a happy child.
Once in awhile as I dance around my room I become that child again.

Free to laugh, run and play.
Free to feel the grass under my feet as I dance.
Free to be a child for awhile.

I Can Fly

I have discovered that I'm able to spread my wings and fly.
I'm able to do what I want if I just try.
I may not in the beginning be able to soar very high.
But with each passing day I become stronger and with the Eagles I will fly.
I can fly like a bird in the sky.
