If I Am
Sep. 30, 2023
In the realm of wonder where children play, With colors and thoughts that light the way. “If I am a bird,” one child does say, “I’ll soar through the skies, in the light of day. With wings of freedom, I’ll touch the blue, And sing my songs with skies so true.” “If I am a fish,” another one mused, “To the endless ocean, my family’s amused. With scales of silver and a heart so kind, Through the deep blue, adventure we’ll find.” But don’t forget, there’s more to see, In this gallery of young artistry. Step inside their crafted fun, Where “If I am …” has just begun. Each canvas speaks of a child’s delight, In this studio, their dreams take flight. With imagination as their guiding star, They show us all who they truly are.
