Nostalgia

If I could go back to a time in my life I would go back to the time my family went to Disney World. My brothers and I had a great time riding all the rides and playing games. I was only 8 at the time but it was probably the best time of my life. I would like to go back to that time because I was so young and I felt carefree because I was still a child.

Nostalgia 2 I would like to go back to last year when I was on the football team and we won states. The feeling was the best thing I have ever felt in my life and it still gives me chills to think about it. I had the chance to be part of something special and I got to enjoy it with all of my teammates and coaches. The feeling of all that was unexplainable and I can treasure that feeling for the rest of my life

Ballad

My mom, like most mothers, has children and a career. However, unlike most mothers, my mom’s youngest child is three while her oldest is twenty-two. I can only imagine how difficult it is to give undivided, equal attention to each child but somehow my mom manages to do it. With two children out of the house and two needing guidance with every step, my mom still doesn’t make me, the middle child, feel out of place. With much on her plate, my mom continues to serve her husband, children and mother dinner after a long day of work. Following dinner, my mother still has cleaning to do until she can finally give her complete attention to her family.

Ballad 2 Having children and a career Her youngest child is three And oldest child is twenty-two My mom’s undivided attention is extraordinary

Working all day Cooking and cleaning when home A garden that needs tending Everything is done with care

With two children needing complete guidance Two needing none And a mother living home No one is left alone

Stress must be abundant But it never shows With family gatherings And love to grow
