I'm with the kids <br />Who want to run in the hallways <br />And chew gum in class <br />And take two extra minutes outside <br />After the bell goes <br /> <br />I'm with the kids <br />Who want to ride their skateboards <br />And play on computers <br />And shoot baskets in the gym <br />Instead of doing math <br /> <br />I'm with the kids <br />Who pick their noses with abandon <br />Who like to eat junk food <br />And gag at the mention of vegetables <br />And soap <br /> <br />I'm with the kids <br />Who need to love <br />And feel loved <br />Who need to talk <br />And feel heard <br />Who need to cry <br />And feel comfort <br />Who need to play <br />And feel fun <br /> <br />I'm with the kids <br />Who want to be kids<br /><br />Bob Oldfield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-with-the-kids/
