I Am Talented And Giving

I am talented and giving
I wonder if I will be the best artist
I hear my paintbrushes
I see millions of drawings
I want to be happy for what I am
I am talented and giving

I pretend that I am the best painter
I feel happy for every good deed that I do
I touch happiness in people
I worry that people might get hurt
I cry when I draw something sad
I am talented and giving

I understand that it will be a long time to be what I want to be
I say I have to train hard to become a sculptor
I dream that I will have a good life
I try my best to become what I want to be
I hope that I am good at being a drawer
I am talented and giving
