Summer She spreads like wild fire, Shedding you of warm jackets. Leaving you sweating In the unbearable heat, With no hint of forgiveness. Amelia Adkins 9th Grade Scottsboro High School Holly Michaels
My Mommaw I remember when I came up there You would tell me stories about Grandpa and Bear Bear now sits in your room, all cold and alone, in his non-rocking chair all dusty with mold I remember your walking stick, which now leans by your door In the kitchen the old green linoleum floor We would play cards that Grandpa had bought you, oh so many before Your daily newspaper crosswords, I couldn't figure out Yet you got each one without a single doubt I would help you in the garden making sure no creatures were luring about I remember when you hit your head You lay in that uncomfortable looking bed I would hold your hand, though you did not know I wanted you here, but God wanted you home At 2:09 a.m. you took your last breath I was there and every word I said I said goodbye before they took you away, for I will see you one happy day. Hannah Whited 9th grade Grace Baptist Academy Mr. Reese
