Pride and Joy

“I Am
By: Shane Carroll

I am a football fool
I wonder what I’ll be when I grow up
I hear crickets chirping in my front yard
I see football clouds in the sky
I want to be rich
I am a football fool

I pretend to be Peyton Manning
I feel like I have my team on my shoulders
I touch the moon
I worry about my Mom
I cry when I’m sad
I am a football

I understand I need help in math
I say I love school but sometimes I don’t
I dream I’m Peyton Manning
I try hard in football
I hope I’m rich when I grow up
I am a football fool”
