Blowing Your Own Trumpet: Confidence and Self-Belief Poem for Kids

Blowing Your Own Trumpet

I don’t like to blow my own trumpet

But some days I sow magic beans

So maybe I won’t blow my trumpet

But might shake my big tambourine

I don’t like to blow my own trumpet

But some days I perch on a throne

So maybe I won’t blow my trumpet

But might slide my brassy trombone

I don’t like to blow my own trumpet

But some days I shine like a star

So maybe I won’t blow my trumpet

But might strum my wild air guitar

I don’t like to blow my own trumpet

But some days I know all my sums

So maybe I won’t blow my trumpet

But might bang the beat of my drum

I don’t like to blow my own trumpet

But some days I follow my heart

So maybe I won’t blow my trumpet

But might pluck the strings of my harp
