One More Chance
Good-bye Again
...I'm 17, you're here again, even if it's just one night, you came back, Grandma, I'm so glad, this time I will get it right. I'm so sorry, I did not see, the signs were very clear, I did not pay attention, your stroke had caused your fear... I was just a kid, when I made the choice, to leave with my friends... When I got home, it was much too late, your stroke had caused your end. But now your back, and its ok I get another chance. This time I will stay with you, and make sure the stroke won't be your end. But it always ends the same, you are telling me, "It's time for me to leave, you must be on your way. As for me I cry and beg, please Grandma stay, for one more day. One hundred times, I 've had this dream, the ending always the same. I wake up crying and feeling sad that I blew my chance once again.

My life could have been less hard knocks, but would it have been boring? All the obstacles,trials, and tragedies are probably what kept me going. Every time I was knocked down, I got back up. I didn't allow them to break me.

The Days OF Respect
I remember when I was young, we played outside it was so much fun. No social media no Facebook or Twitter, instead there was baseball and maybe pitching a no hitter. It was safer time for kids, when they went to school There was no mass shootings to be carried out by students or by any fools. Parents were more hands on to discipline a kid No C.P.S was called on the punishing they did. We learned early on to be humble and to show respect, if not the repercussions would make us soon regret. Our generation believe in God to answer prayers it gave us the foundation to believe and not despair. Don't misconstrue we had issues too, disease, rescissions to name a few but still there was no constant fear, that the end of days will be drawing near.
