I Am an Oak Tree

I am very tall.
I am 7 years old.
During the day,
I see robins.
During the night,
I hear frogs singing.
During the day,
I grow leaves.
During the night,
I rest and wait
Until tomorrow.

Every day there is something new and wonderful to learn. It never stops you know, not even when you are old and grey. Keep on expressing yourself, never stop learning. Read, write and grow strong.
