I'm not what you would call
"Brave"
I'd rather read about heroes
Than be one, I thinkBut I like to do
Little things
That make me feel strongLike jump off the dock
In water over my headLike climb trees
Until I'm taller than beforeLike do the touch tank
In an aquariumLike be the first
To try something newThings other kids enjoy
I enjoy them, too
Because I like conquering my fear
And that, I feel,
Might make me brave.
