Does anyone have a copy of the poem "It Seems I Test People" by James Berry or know where I can get one? It is recommended to use when teaching figurative language and I am having no luck with google. TIA

It's in a reading book I have at school. I'll be sure to look tomorrow.

I don't know if this breaks any copyright laws or anything but I found the poem you are looking for. Everyone else can stop looking.

"It Seems I Test People" by James Berry

My skin sun-mixed like basic earth
my voice having tones of thunder
my laughter working all of me as I laugh
my walk motioning strong swings
it seems I test people

Always awaiting a move
waiting always to recreate my view
my eyes packed with hellos behind them
my arrival bringing departures
it seems I test people.
