I BELIEVE I CAN FLY... OMM's I BELIEVE I CAN FLY CHALLENGE...

 

I believe I can fly 
I believe I can touch the sky 
I think about it every night and day 
Spread my wings and fly away 
I believe I can soar 
I see me running through that open door 
I believe I can fly.

AUTUMN JOY... DIGITAL WHISPER's AUTUMN LEAVES CHALLENGE...


 I raked the leaves on our front lawn; 
It took all afternoon. 
I started at ’round half past one 
and said, “I’ll be done soon.” 
 But once I saw how more leaves fell 
Each time I made a pile, 
I quickly saw this outdoor chore 
Was going to take a while. 
 And so I did what my dad said 
A winner does to win: 
I studied that great pile of leaves, 
And then I jumped right in.
