Down by my house I hear a loud POP,
Yet I still don’t ever stop,
Doing what I’m doing is always fun,
Playing outside in the summer sun,
Woof, Woof that’s what we hear,
When all the strangers are near,
Bang, Bang in goes the nails,
Those construction workers never bail,
Boing, Boing, on the trampoline,
Now I can smell the burning gasoline,
We’re having a cookout the meat taste nice,
My drink is hot I need some ice,
On my street the voices speak loud,
That’s because we are all proud,
“Why are you proud” all the visitors ask,
“because our street music gives us real class”.

Didn’t Want to Let Go
We all knew it was that day. The day we had to take her to the Hospital for what like the 20th time. I was only three years old, I had absolutely no idea what was happening. I was as scared as a 4 year old in the dark. All I understood at the time was we were sitting in a big waiting room in a big chair and we all knew something bad was bound to happen.
There she was lying in the hospital bed. My mom and dad gave her a big kiss and hug. I could tell they didn’t want to let go, and even though I wasn’t holding her I didn’t either. My brother and I were too scared to hug her; we thought we would hurt her even more. “Will you please go wait in the waiting room” The nurse asked. We didn’t want to but we had to.
Quite a few minutes later the nurse came and whispered something to my mom. I saw the tears burst out of my mom, dad, and brother’s eyes. I didn’t know what we were so sad about. That’s when I realized, where we were, what we were doing and what had just happened. Less than a minute ago my one year old baby sister past away from a brain tumor.
Not only was I heartbroken from that day, but it never really stood clear to me. Just four years ago I really started to understand the truth about what had really happened to her was in no way our fault. There was really nothing we could do about it but give her treatments and make sure the short life that she lived would be the best she could ever have, and that’s just what we did.
That one moment taught me a lot about how life works. The universe will bless you with a miracle like Rayley and then it will eventually take it back. Those are the kind of moments that can make you a better or worse person, and that experience made me better. To this day I still remember some of the little time we got to spend with her. Just some days I wish that little time was longer. But that’s okay now she’s in a better place where she doesn’t have to suffer the pain.
