A long time ago, a little girl <br />believed that she could fly. <br />She saw the movie, 'Peter Pan' <br />and decided she would try. <br /> <br />She thought her happy thoughts, <br />let out a rooster's crow, <br />and as she shouted, 'I believe! ' <br />she crashed to the floor below. <br /> <br />She woke up in a hospital. <br />Mom and dad were by the bed. <br />It took six stitches to sew up <br />where she had conked her head. <br /> <br />The little girl learned a lesson. <br />Be careful in what you believe - <br />some things will always be pretend. <br />The little girl? Yeah, it was me.<br /><br />C.J. Heck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-can-fly-children/
