I Can Sing

I Can Sing I sing a voice like an angel. Some call me a songbird. A melody, Sweet singing and soft sounds Come from my lips. High. Low. Medium. Not quite a Mariah Carey or a Whitney Huston “yet”. I lift my hands and I use my body. I tap my feet to the beat. I stand tall like a tree and plant my feet hip width apart. I open my mouth and out comes music.
