Storm Boy
is about me
because one day I was lost.
When I got lost
because I like berries
My mother, she got worried.
When I go Somewhere
without my family
I get scared and worried.
Once I got lost
from my brother
I'll never leave home again.
I went to Puerto Rico
with my Aunt
I missed my family.
I lived in Guatemala
but I will go back one day to visit.
I was in a canoe
and I fell off
I couldn't breathe underwater.
When I fell
from the boat
I did not feel lost.
Do it like this
Do it like that.
People in a hurry
and I felt lost.
Then I learned
in the D.R.
that life is not the same.
It is hot
with many flowers
and not very much rain.
I like to dance
I like to sing
my family taught me how.
I can read.
I can dance.
I can show you how.
And Once I knew
a kid who fished
and I really do like fish.
But I won't eat
any fish
that is uncooked.
When I got lost
I got scared
but once I was back
it was fun.
When I go back
to the D.R.
I'll show Grandma what to do.
My Grandma sings
me lovely songs
I love her for what she does.
I was scared
then I was safe
my grandmother by my side.
I saw my mother heading straight for me
I was lost
then found.
Now I show my family
what I did
how I danced
and what I ate.
I like fish
and I like masks
just like in the book.
Now I am in my house
I am the princess
I am the only girl.
I like my family,
my family likes me
And my Mom
hugs me tight
and gives me
a
great
big
kiss.
