I Call Home by Marisa Cooper (graded readers .TXT) 📖

I Call Home:

I am now leaving
the place I call home.
Leaving my friends grieving
for one whom they love as their own.

I stop and look
at the house I call home.
Where I have a nook
that I call my own.

I walk around
the neighborhood I call home.
Many things there I have found
and now there I do roam.

I was not yet ten when
I came to the house I call home.
Five years later, my pen
begins to write this poem.

Many things have happened
here in the city I call home.
Here I have captained
my life on my own.

They say that the heart
is the spot I call home.
I know it's part
of the truth in this poem.

I now leave
the hearth I call home.
And now I shall weave
a new life in a new home.

But when people will ask me,
"Where is your home?"
In my heart, the answer'll be
"It is where my spirit roams.
That is the place that I call home."

A Girl and her Mother:

A Girl and her Mom are together.
They love each other forever.
The Girl wants to stay with her Mother.
The Mother wants her daughter to stay.
Because of their fears, they fear the day,
they would be apart and forced to be kept away.
But they have nothing to fear,
for they love each other with a love so powerful,
nothing can truly tear them apart.
But they still fear,
and we let them fear.
For someday,
they will learn that fear is not a curse,
it's really a blessing.
It means they care.

The Challenge:

Life is not easy,
it can be a challenge.
It’s not measy.
Certain parts can’t be salvaged.
But life has its ups too.
For example, certain people came,
and experiences that were new.
Success is what we aim.
Life is the Challenge
the tests us all.
It can be amazing,
big or small.

You:

You are awesome.
You are happy.
You are the sum
of a Beauty and a ‘Yay!’

You are kind and funny.
You are always smiling.
You always are super sunny,
and around you, good cheer is piling.

You are a great friend
to those around you.
You are the perfect blend
of a hard worker and a friend that’s true.

I have just one more thing to say;
You are a wonderful person,
wonderful in every way.
You are sure to always win!

I Would:

I would like to publish my books.
I would like to sing my songs.
I would like to take a look
at la Arc d'Triumphe.

I would like to travel the world.
I would like to be a star.
I would like to be Supergirl
with a navy-blue car.

I would like to own a bakery.
I would like to have my own show.
I would like to have a family
and a really nice home.

I would like to find happiness.
I would like to be kind.
I would like to be the best
at anything I can find.

I would like all of these things.
I would like to have a perfect life.
But since I can't have everything,
I'll make sure to have a good time.
