Hello, I am Lois Letchford, author of the book Reverse to Memoir and literacy problem solver, sharing poems from Jack Palutski's Dragons Are Singing Tonight. And this one is I Am Waiting, Waiting, Waiting. I am waiting, waiting, waiting for my dragon egg to hatch. I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for a year, ever since I found it hidden in my mother's garden patch. Now I think my baby dragon's almost here. I've never had a dragon of my very own before, and I wonder, will my dragon breathe a flame? Will it greet me every morning with a friendly little roar? Will it answer when I summon it by name? I am counting off the seconds till my dragon first appears, poking through the shell to freedom with the horn. I can't wait to see its winglets, tiny muzzle, tail, and ears when my brand new baby dragon's finally born. Thank you. Hit like, hit subscribe, and share it with all.
