Honorable Mention
I, Too
I, too, sing America
though I may be thousands of miles away,
and across the Pacific Ocean.
I am the forgotten sister.
They regard me with dismissive thoughts,
but I am not so different.
I eat, I sleep, I learn, I play,
I live, I grow,
just like they do.
Tomorrow,
as I become the new head of government,
find the cure for the seemingly incurable,
become an Olympic gold medalist,
they will remember,
I, too, am America.
