Appreciation

Our last meeting

I rehearsed my part

I read my speech

you looked on with pride

I'm proud, too

I can sing and read in a different language

from ancient scroll with no vowels that sort of smells bad

I can't thank you enough

you've helped me grow

learn

experience

without you

I would be nowhere

without you

I wouldn't know how amazing your crepes are

especially with maple syrup and raspberries and blueberries

the perfect, thin, folded treat dusted with confectioner's sugar

I will come visit

I will miss you

I will remember you with respect

honor

joy

thank you.

  • Mixed Feelings

    I am sad

    sad to not have weekly meetings with you

    I am nervous

    nervous of what I'll be doing this weekend

    I am excited

    excited to show off, to show my friends and family this tradition

    I am apprehensive

  • May 4th

    It was kindergarten

    specifically May 4th, 2018, to be exact

    we had just moved into our new house

    I had been at the after-school program that day

  • These Songs

    My music collection

    a small window of tunes that I appreciate

    songs that loosen my ties to the ground

    that free me to chase the clouds

    and they may not be popular

    or good party music;
