When you are old and gray and full of sleep
you wake up one morning and feel full of life
You see the people you love and put them to sleep
And you say to yourself wow
I helped a lot of people today
I feel full of light.
You hear the ocean in your soul
and see the birds with worms
you put a smile on your face
and go gray and sound
fast asleep.
Christian Echavarria, 4th grade

When you are old and gray and full of sleep
You have a little bit of hair on you
You are really tired and stressed out
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
You are sometimes wise and sometimes colorful
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
You can sometimes be sad and joyful
You can be thinking that you are silly
You can also be willy nilly!
Jonathan Rivera, 4th grade
