When I was young i was wild.
ReplyDeleteSo free, so careless; a happy child.
I lived in Colorado for 7 years,
leaving that place was my worst fear.
My favorite place down the street,
was the ice cream shop where I would eat.
When I was three
ReplyDeleteRailings were the fear for me.
One day my head got stuck
If only I had some luck.
If it wasn't for my shout
My dad would have never got me out.
I was 4 years old, sleeping at my grandparents' house
ReplyDeleteIt was 1:10 in the morning
I was sleeping until I heard a strange noise
I woke up and noticed that the closet door was open
I look up and see a strange demonic shadow
I scream and my grandma comes running in the room
When I was little, A long time ago,
ReplyDeleteI was a small girl, dressed in ribbons and bows.
I waited by the stove for dinner to come,
But I got to close, and burned my thumb!
And now all thats left is a small little scar,
To remind me of that day only from a far.
I was an athletic little child,
ReplyDeletealways shooting baskets and throwing balls,
but one day the ball wanted revenge,
I was 3 and dad threw the baseball,
I remember seeing it coming and then bang!
right into my forehead, and thats how I learn to use my glove.
Quiet and shy,
ReplyDeleteunlike the other kids.
Small and timid,
afraid of them all.
My earliest memory,
of the shy kid I use to be.
when i was young i sat in a room
ReplyDeletemy dad was coaching wrestling
in was really hot in the room
in sat and watch and heard him yell
as i was sitting in the heat
that is as early that i can remember
When I was only a few years old,
ReplyDeleteI was taught and constantly told.
Even through my aches and sores,
I was told to do my chores.
Though I wanted to fly my kite,
I did my chores morning and night.
We were only 6 years old
ReplyDeleteplaying dolls in my dollhouse that was painted gold.
Sydni came to my house and the fun began
All of us bronze from our summer tan.
Playing with my dollhouse is a fun thing to do
my sister even played with us too.
At Kids Kampus is where I spent my days.
ReplyDeleteAt Kids Kampus is where I liked to play.
At Kids Kampus is where I learned to write.
At Kids Kampus it was a wonderful site.
At Kids Kampus is where I found my friends.
At Kids Kampus is where it all began.
Every since I was little I never
ReplyDeletereally liked school.
At the time my brother had chicken pox
So we made a plan to rub backs.
Two days later, I was at home with
the chicken pox, and not at school.
My living room on a warm summers day
ReplyDeleteme and my sister dancing away
twirling in circles in time with the song
two little girls doing no wrong.
Sometimes I look back on that warm summers day
and I think of those two girls dancing away.
My earliest memory I can recall was when I was about five or six. I was at my house and my mom was there. I'm not sure if my uncle was too. There was a large drill in our yard. They were drilling a new well for us. The were drill down into the ground. It took awhile for them to finish.
ReplyDeleteFresh start for everyone
ReplyDeleteFirst grade was the beginning
I was being friendly
It was scary for some and happy for others
Deliberately trying to make things bad
Didn't change anything now
It was "back in the day" when Garnavillo and Guttenberg where still separate schools
ReplyDeleteIt was game day, basketball that is
I was sitting up in the balcony, right in the front row, watching the great game
I had skittles, my mom made sure I didn't drop them onto the floor
The gym was packed, for it was close to the end of an era
The era of Garnavillo and Guttenberg being separate, where over
The middle of the school year
ReplyDeleteJust another day.
I had a very good day
With all the friends I had.
But then the teacher called my name
To clean up after snacks.
Coming down the stairs,
ReplyDeletehappy and excited
turning the corner,
seeing that cake
Happy Birthday!,
as I blew out my candles
I was 5, it started as any other day, but ended worse than any other.
ReplyDeleteI had gotten out of school just hours before.
I saw people running, and screaming on the t.v.
And why? Because someone had brought down two towers.
The towers that seemed to reach the sky.
That day was September 11, 2001.
I was about three years old,
ReplyDeleteMy parents were their and my sister too
It was christmas time
I finally got the dog I always wanted.
It was one of the best day in my life
I still have the dog until this day.
Down By the River
ReplyDeleteThe waves hushed in the wind
The fish looking for food in the hot summer sun.
The pole bends and sways to the rhythm of the current
While the worm bobs up and down to the waves force.
The water gets rough and the day quite.
My first memory was when I was not very tall.
ReplyDeleteI was at my daycare when we got the call.
I was so very young,
and my baby sister had finally come.
To the hospital we went,
where my baby sister, I finally met.
Four years old.
ReplyDeleteGrandma house where I was told.
Climbing up.
Climbing down.
Playing with friends
Just having a ball.
One second I could see the house, the lane, and our dog.
ReplyDeleteThe next they were gone.
Driving that little car down our lane
Sitting on dad's lap, steering the car left and right
We could of been hurt, but my dad reacted quickly
One second is all it took.
It was in the summer and soon I would be in fourth grade.
ReplyDeleteMy family and I were coming down the hill to Guttenberg.
All I remember seeing was smoke rising in the air where my house used to be.
My parents didn't want us to see it right away so we went to my Uncles house.
Later that same day my parents picked us up and took us to the house.
When we got there I was so sad because I didn't have a house anymore.
i was running so hard
ReplyDeleteI had A brand new Pokemon card!
My Best Friends did not.
And then I laid it on that spot.
He started to cry.
I, did not.
Ever since I can remember,
ReplyDeleteI've loved to fish
Every fish I caught I made a wish
And that wish was that my name could be Lish
And since my name is Lish,
I always think of that fish
