This Is Me!

Morning sun throws out gold to fill up the sky,

I wake, thoughts wash through my brain as I lie.

I eat in a room full of joy and sunshine

And vow to myself that this day shall be mine.

I pack up my things and climb on my bike

And pedal and pedal, this is just what I like!

Happiness bubbles I recognise glee,

I dance and I twirl. This is me, this is me!

I pedal back home with a smile on my face,

I need no one to tell me I’m in just the right place.

The moon rises up as I sink into sleep

And dreams take my soul to a midnight blue deep.
