" I Am Cherry Alive" the Little Girl Sang For Miss Kathleen Hanlon

"I am cherry alive" the little girl sang, "Each morning i am something new: I am apple, I am plum, I am just as excited As the boys who make the Hallowe'en bang: I am tree, I am cat, I am blossom too: When I like, if I like, I can be someone new, Someone very old, a witch in a zoo: I can be someone else whenever I think who, And I want to be everything sometimes too: And the peach has a pit and I know that too, And I put it in along with everything To make the grown-ups laugh whenever I sing: And I sing : It is true; It is untrue; I know, I know, the true is untrue, The peach has a pit, the pit has a peach: And both may be wrong when I sing my song, But don't tell the grown-ups: because it is sad, And I want them to laugh just like I do Because they grew up and forgot what they knew And they are sure I will forget it some day too. They are wrong. They are wrong. When I sang my song, I knew, I knew! I am red, I am gold, I am green, I am blue, I will always be me, I will always be new!" ----------- ----------- ---------- -----------by Delmore Schwartz
