Day

In the morning

The sun

Yearns for my waking eyes

The breeze is as mellow as my breath

That appears on the window

As if to greet me

In the morning

With a reminder

That i am alive

I relish in the softness

Of the blankets

That entrap my legs

Like vines

Pulling me against the bed

Keeping me in comfort.
In the afternoon

The light is enticing

But the cold penetrates my skin

And dives beneath my clothes

Every hair stands up

In a rush

That travels to my head

And i am reminded

Where i am

May it be behind a desk

Fidgeting

Or sat on the floor

Back against the wall

Sun shining through a glass door

Against my face

The light is so enticing.
In the evening

Perfect Day
The perfect day starts with a good yawn and not being sleepy at all. Yet out of bed and the shower is a perfect temp. No messy hair and I bike down to the bus stop. The air is just right and while standing still it feels like there was never any wind. I listen to my favorite songs on the bus to school and when I get there I hang out with my friends. Have one test and I get 100% on it. I have mac & cheese for lunch and after school go to my best friend's house and mess around. We play magic and destiny, jump around on a trampoline and relax. I go home and play frisbee with my siblings then ride the four-wheeler. Go to bed and fall asleep in two minutes.

Perfect day

Perfect day

The perfect day start with toast

Then comes the chat with friends

Next is the unlimited money spending time

For lunch I get pizza

Have an epic Bakugan battle

Pasta for diner

Then it time for bed

After a Perfect day

A Day of Perfection

Perfection starts with a good amount of sleep

Where the drowsiness in my eyes don’t make an appearance for the day.

Some movement in the morning that gets the heart racing

To remind myself that my body is capable of extraordinary things

And that it’s a privilege to be able to move the way I do.

Then onto breakfast, the most important meal of the day.

Where I can feed my body,

Fuel the soul,

And recharge for whatever’s to come ahead.

I prefer cloudy days over sunny days,

I don’t know why

I just do.

Something about cloudy days that set a calming yet mysterious aura in the air.

A perfect day also consists of a trip out of my small town,

Breezing through the highway towards divertido.

Having some sort of adventure brings a sliver of thrill to my monotonous life.

Perfect Days

The perfect day is….
Waking up next to your best friend
Watching youtube until you get hungry
This is how to make a perfect weekend

The perfect day is…
Being awakened from your dog kissing your face
Letting them outside, running and running
Sprinting and not falling down the staircase

The perfect day is…
Waking up in Mass
Seeing your whole family in the morning
Enjoying a big milk glass

The perfect day is…
Waking up on christmas
Everyone being happy
No one having suspicious business.

The perfect day with the perfect friend

I wake up with the sun shining on my face. I looked out my window to see the snow from the night before. I quickly jumped out of my bed and ran downstairs. My mother was in the kitchen making waffles, my favorite! After breakfast, I put on my coat and scarf and ran down the road to my friend Emma’s house. I knocked on her door twice and she opened it with her coat and scarf already on. We looked at each other giggling like little kids and ran down the road to the ice rink. We got out skates on and spent the entire morning ice skating. It was something we had been doing since we were five years old. After that, we went back to her house for lunch. Her mother made up chicken pot pie, which as Emma’s favorite food.

The Perfect Day

I woke up and was so psyched, because I didn’t have to go to school! I walked down stairs to pour myself a bowl of Fruit Loops and was surprised to find 4 million dollars just sitting on the table. I texted my mom and said “I found 4 million dollars on the counter!”

She texted back super fast, “No, you didn’t! That's impossible. I'm coming home.”

I was sitting on the couch playing Xbox and she came squealing in the driveway and burst open the front door. Then she came zooming out of the mud room into the kitchen were she shouted, “You didn’t find that… oh my god.” My mom saw the money and she started to freak out.

I said with confidence, “You can have 1 million dollars mom.”

She replied with, “No way! Your lying to me.”

Then I walked up to her and said, “Do you want it? Because I don't, It’s yours. Here!”

She grabbed the money and started to cry “Thank you” she said with a sob.

The Perfect Day

The perfect day,
The perfect day starts with the perfect morning,
The beginning of the perfect story,
I awake to the perfect breakfast, pancakes, waffles, strawberries and bananas,
The perfect day
I race to school
I dash to class to see my friends, praying that this day won’t end,
I get to lunch and savor every bite,
The perfect day
I return home and see my pets
Hoping this day will never end
Soon I am called for dinner, a plate of delicious food appears,
I eat it as fast as it came,
This day has certainly not been lame,
Today was truely,
The perfect day

Perfect Day

Today was my kind of day, let me tell you all about it. I woke up this morning feeling well rested and I had no trouble getting out of bed. As I got dressed I felt very confident and I was ready to start my day. I got onto the bus and listened to all of my favorite songs on the way to school. When I got to school I had 15 minutes to socialize with my best friends, making this day even better. The first bell rang so I headed into history class where I didn’t have to do anything because I had already completed my work the day before. After that, I headed to spanish class, my favorite class. I love spanish class because it is very fun to communicate using a new language. After that is english class, where we’re writing essays. Next is health, talking about how to stay healthy. Then it’s lunch, my favorite time of the day especially since today I have a bologna sandwich.
