It’s not fair! You get more!
I have three and you have four.
Your piece is bigger. Mine’s not nice.
I went once. You went twice.
Wait a minute. Let me think.
This time I have the biggest drink.
Mine is better. Yours is small.
You don’t get more each time at all.
Yesterday I won the race.
You came in at second place.
Today you won, and I was last.
I was slow and you were fast.
I think I’ll try not to compare.
It all works out. I guess that’s fair.

I’m Great!
I can do it. Just you wait.
Give me time. I’m just great.
I’ll sink that tricky basketball.
Skateboard tricks won’t make me fall.
I’ll get that dance. I’ll learn to cook.
I’ll read that huge enormous book.
I’ll play that game. I may not win.
I’ll be the best I’ve ever been.
Sometimes I’ll fail, but that’s all right.
I’ll try again. I’m fine. I’m bright.
So give me time, for I’m just great.
I can do it. Just you wait.

I’m Angry
I don’t know how to end this fight.
I understand it isn’t right.
Can we talk? Will you agree?
Let’s go there, beneath that tree.
You talk first. Why are you mad?
Did I say words that made you sad?
I’ll be quiet. It’s your turn.

I’ll listen hard and try to learn.
I’ll go next. I’ll hold your hand,
And try to make you understand.
Maybe that would end this fight,
For fighting isn’t nice or right.

I Lost
I lost. That’s bad. I wish I’d won.
Everyone says, “Have fun! Have fun!
Don’t worry if you lose or win.
Shake the winner’s hand and grin.”
So I will try to just have fun.
It won’t matter if I’ve won.
But here’s a secret . . . I like to win.
It’s more fun when they shake and grin.

Trust Me

Oops!

You can trust me. I’m your friend.

I’ll keep your secrets till the end.
I will never lie to you.
I’ll make you laugh when you feel blue.
Don’t worry, I am well prepared
To help you out when you feel scared.
I’ll keep a promise if I make it.
I won’t forget, and I won’t break it.
So count on me. I’m fair, I’m just,
And I’m a friend
that you can trust.

My teacher called my name today.
I didn’t know the answer.
I was dreaming of the day
I’d be a famous dancer.
I made a mistake, but that’s okay.
Tomorrow is another day.

My teacher called my name today.
I wished that I could hide,
For I was drawing pictures of
A brand new giant ride.
I made a mistake, but that’s okay.
Tomorrow IS another day.

My teacher called my name today.
I knew I was in trouble,
For I was thinking of the day
I’d blow a nine foot bubble.
I made a mistake, but that’s okay.
Tomorrow is another day.

Should I?
I did something bad today.
Should I say I did it?
Should I tell my mother
That I broke the bowl and hid it?

Should I tell the teacher
That I made the new kid sad?
Or should I say I don’t know
Why he feels so bad?

Should I tell my father
That I told a little lie?
I didn’t do my homework,
What’s worse I didn’t try.

I think I’d better tell the truth.
It’s always best that way.
If I don’t say “I’m sorry” now,

I’ll have a rotten day.
