You Never Know

Peek a boo, I see you, Grandma Grandma sees you too, Marissa What do you want to do today Grandma, can me and you just play Hey Grandma, these green beans I hate Yuckiest thing I ever ate Green beans, Marissa, make you strong And healthy too, so you live long At school, Grandma, I’m not afraid A girl likes me, her name is Jade She said to me, can we be friends We pinky promised, ’til the end Marissa’s views, she made so clear I never dreamed her end was near Some things on earth we can’t discern You never know how life will turn Six years of joy locked in my heart Those memories will never part At the end we’ll be together She and I can play forever August 25, 2016 Five Rhyming Stanzas Contest

A very sad yet delightful tale with amazing details that are fantastic and very cleverly penned. Story poems are a fave of mine and your homespun piece is a very special one.:-) Wonderful writing, a joy to read. My best to you in the contest. blessings, lynn
