Devin's Poem

Devin has become quite the creative writer with all of the writing he had to do in 5th grade. This was a poem he brought home at the end of the school year. It is so touching and deep...it made Andrew and I tear with happiness.

I Am

by Devin DaCosta

I am a brother and a son

I wonder about life

I hear my mother and father cheering

I see me being a professional athlete

I am a brother and a son

I pretend to like something when I don't

I feel the high fives of fans in the football stadium

I touch pearls in Hawaii

I cry when bad things appear in my mind

I am a brother and a son

I understand life is not fair

I say amen after every prayer

I dream about Heaven

I try to do my best in everything

I hope I will have a great life

I am a brother and a son
