Memories

Melissa smiled but her heart ached as she looked at the smiling photo of her and her mother. She had died a year ago from cancer and Melissa missed her. Oh mom, her heart cried, why did you have to die? She could hear her mother's voice inside her. I'm with Jesus now. Only he knows. Youll see me again. "I WANT TO SEE YOU NOW!" wailed Melissa. She buried her head in the pillows on her bed and cried. She heard her grandma come into her room and the bed creaked as Mimi sat down by her side. "There, there" her old sweet comforting voice said. Melissa heard her sigh and knew her grandma was going through some memories. Then the sweet croaky voice said, "One time your mother...." and Melissa drifted into memories.

My House

There are Dreams floating around my house made by laughter, gatherings and the simpering scent of Mom cooking favorite dinners as they listen to the news report of the day. One girl slumbers on the couch waking up to a brainstorm of fresh thoughts and begging to draw. The older girl runs to a shelf and picks out a book to read so she may open up a new world to share with others. Games of cards, checkers, Monopoly and tag have gone on through this house during the years. A father steps in the house and after a hard day at work is greeted by joyous shouts of the 4 children and the smell of dinner. The little boys play checkers, and it is now a wounderful house.

Mysterious Moon

The Moon, a mysterious thing
Some say a man lives there
The Man of the Moon, a person
Others a white desert with craters
To mice, a great sphere of mozzerala cheese.
Neil Armstrong a big step
But whatever your opinion
It's up there laughing and glowing with the stars.
Being a Mysterious Moon.

This is a poem I wrote in 2008!! Check it out.

hi

Hello everyone,
Today me and Zane ,Henry and Angel went outside since it was warm and we laid out a blanket
and lyed under umbrellas with books and cups of crushed ice.Then we started to pelt each other with ice and use the umbrellas as sheilds. It was a full-fledged war! It was fun to . When it's warm it would be a fun family thing. Mom and dad could join to. If you used water in the summer you could cool off. If you try it email me and tell me how it goes!

The Hat Shop

It was a hot August Saturday when I dashed into a store called Sports Hats Galore. I needed to get a hat for the Eagles game I was going to. They were playing Texas in the World Cup and we were late. I hurried over to a display of soccer team hats, pulled out a bright orange eagles hat, and put it on my head to try it on. POOF!

I opened my eyes and looked around dazed. Where am I? I wondered. I looked down at myself. YIKES! I nearlly jumped out of my skin. There I was, dressed in a bright oragne Eagles jersey with shin guards to match. "TWEET!" a sharp whistle made me look up just in time to see the Eagles defender get kicked in the shin hard. CRACK! I could hear the bone break all the way from the sidelines of the game. (That's where I knew I was now.) Then out of nowhere I heard a voice. "Oh no!: I barely heard it over the cries of "Auggh!" from the screaming man but it was there. I jerked my head up. It was the coach. "I tapped him on the shoulder. "Waht's the matter?" I asked. "The defender's replacment is out with measles," he sobbed, "we'll have to forfeit!" "I'll play!" I cried. I guess the coach was too suprised to notice I was a girl, he just didn't want to forfeit. "Okay, he said. "ALL RIGHT!" I cheered and headed for the defenders position.

"TWEET!" went the whisstle and there I was in the 4th quarter, the score 3-2, we were winning and a Texas offense coming towards me. HUH! Where did that come from? I looked around now very alert. Sure enough a Texas player was coming towards me. His eyes narrowed to slits and I followed his moves like a cobra sneaking up on a mouse. Suddenly, he tood one of those big bulky feet and slammed the ball towards me. My eyes flashed and as the ball came towards me, I smoothly ran to the side, and it seemed like I grabbed a bolt of lightning energy out of the sky.

I lifted the orange daouble knotted cleat and with all the muscles in my body, slammed the ball so hard it whammed into the other goal! The crowd gasped.

"GOAL!" cried the referee just as the clock buzzed the end of the game. "Woahh!" screamed the crowd. My teamates lifted me on their shoulders so fast my hat toppled off my head. POOF! Not again!

I opened my eyes. I was back in Sports Hats Galore sitting in the middle of a display of soccer hats. The cashier, a high school jock, looked at me and grinned. "Would you like to try another sports hat?" he asked smiling.

I shook my head anergitically. "No thank you." I said, and dashed out. As I ran home I thought one thing and only one thing. I'M NOT GOING IN THERE AGAIN!
