"Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game."


I am a child.
I am a child.
I am nine years old.
I am nine years old.
I live in a big house.
I live on the street.
I love my mommy.
I don't have a mommy.
I get three meals a day.
I'm lucky if I get one.
I eat off a plate.
I eat out of the garbage.
I sleep in a big comfy bed.
I sleep wherever I can.
I play and go to school everyday.
I work all day.
I shower every night.
I shower once a week if I'm lucky.
I am happy.
I am too.
Happy because I get toys.
Happy because I'm alive.
