on You can be like Martin,
Yes, you can!
Martin was a praying boy,
How he prayed when he was a man.
He prayed that men would do right deeds,
All throughout our land.
You can pray in your own way,
Pray more when you’re a man.
You can be like Martin,
Yes, you can!
Martin had a dream you know,
That all people would be free,
To live and work together,
In a country filled with peace.
You can be a dreamer,
Keep dreaming when a man.
You can be like Martin,
Yes, you can!
on I still remember the day when my brother came into our family.
My brother, Christian,was pale as a baby.
He almost looked like a spirit!
Now,he has blue eyes,and brown hair.
My first surprise was that he was born early!
He had to be put in a capsule.
He was about 3-4 inches thick.
But he was also really small.
He weighed about a pound.
That’s not as heavy as a regular baby.
He also held my finger!
I was really ecstatic!
I’m so happy that I have a little brother.
on I wish I hadn’t gone to school today.
But I have a test and I have to stay!
It’s 45 minutes until lunch.
I’m hungry and I want to munch!
There’s a question that I need an answer to.
I bet this has happened to you!
I feel all alone.
I really wish that I had a clone!
I finished, I’m a winner!
It’s also almost time for dinner!
