A boy named Jace

A poem for my Grandson
A boy named Jace
By: Kristie Foreman March 2013

There once was a boy named Jace.
Who had such a handsome face.
Jace wanted to be big like Daddy.
Daddy said “You can be what ever you want to be.”

One day Jace said, “ I want to go fishing.”
“Watch out.” said Daddy
“Be careful.” said Mommy.
Jace imagined he had his very own boat.
He caught a big fish.

Jace said, “I could be a lion tamer.”
He imagined he was fighting a big lion.
Daddy said “You can be what ever you want to be.”

Jace said “I want to drive a truck like Daddy.”
“Watch out.” said Daddy.
“Be careful.” said Mommy.
Jace imagined he was driving his very own truck.

Jace said I want to be a cowboy
He imagined riding his very own horse.
Mommy said, “You can be whatever you want to be.”

Jace loved apples
His sister liked frogs.
Jace wanted his very own frog.
He imagined he had a pet frog.
It jumped and jumped all over the house.
Watch out said Daddy.
Be careful said Mommy.

Jace wanted to play baseball.
He imagined he was on a real team.
What do you think Mommy and Daddy said?
Watch out said Daddy
Be careful said Mommy but...
you can be what ever you want to be.

The end.
