I Am More Than My Name
Running down to the water
Sand beneath my toes,
Seashells glistening in the sun as shiny as gold
I run along the shore searching for the best ones
Running from one end to the other,
Exhausted after my 4-mile run
Neal, champion,
My name reminds me
As I sit down on the sand as smooth as silk
Skating down the street,
My dog chasing me
And my brother on his bike,
Later hiking up to a peak,
The view a spectacular, special, spectacle
Reminding me of India,
The presidents garden and Kashmir
The flowers and landscape as beautiful as something from a dream
My parents moved from India to California to here,
Massachusetts
Reading for hours in my room,
My favorite book in hand,
I look out the window and spot my garden
Lush with all sorts of vegetables and flowers
The apples as red as cherries,
The pears sweet as candy
Writing paragraphs in my room,
Last nights math and science problems on my desk
Under my bed,
Outside playing badminton and walking and running,
Creating music flowing from my window
My violin humming and buzzing creating a sweet melody like the morning birds
My name is Neal,
I am active,
I am funny,
I am friendly,
I am productive,
I am knowledgeable,
I am more than my name
