This summer was already starting off great! Yesterday Jacob, Cliff, and I played some ball. I had so much fun, except for when Jacob accidentally hit me in the stomach. It hurt really bad, but it was pretty funny though now that I think about it. Summer is ending, which means I won't get to play with Jacob or Cliff for much longer, so we decided we would play again today. I am really sad I'm not going to see my two best friends for a whole year, but hopefully I can see them again next summer.
This morning when I woke up the sun was shining bright and the birds were singing louder than ever. I don't mind though. I actually like listening to the birds sing every morning. It's kinda soothing to me I guess. I hopped up out of bed and sat at my window just staring at the beautiful trees and flowers, watching the birds fly from tree to tree. I've always wondered if they are actually talking to each other. Maybe one day I will learn more about birds and how they live. Who knows?
" mmmm.. What's that smell?" I said realizing I had been staring out the window for an hour. At first I was going to take a shower, but then I hear my stomach growl really loud! I go downstairs to get some breakfast.
"Good morning mama! How did you sleep?" I say looking in the kitchen to see what she's cooking. It was pancakes, eggs, and bacon. My stomach growled again and my mouth began to water.
"Good Morning! Woah you sound like your starving over there. Here get you somethin' to eat!" Mama says. I guess she heard my stomach. I did what she said and grabbed a plate.
This was the best food I have had in weeks! I shoveled it all in my mouth as quick as possible. Today was starting off great. I put my plate in the sink and started walking back up stair when mama shouted something to me.
"Don't forget we have church today!" She said while washing the dishes.
"I know. I'm going to get ready now mama, and don't forget I'm going to play with Jacob and Cliff today!" I said while running to my room. I quickly run to my room and jump in the shower. I started singing my favorite song.
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lonely Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, Lord I'm worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
I turn the water off when I finish singing my song and grab a towel. I love going to church. Pops was the pastor and mama played the organ sometimes too. I put my suit on that mama laid out for me and I ran to Alfred's room to make sure he was up. He was.
"Don't forget we have church today! And breakfast is in the kitchen." I say closing the door not giving him a chance to respond. I went downstairs to the kitchen and saw mama talking to pops.
"Good morning pops! Ready for church?" I say giving him a big hug.
" I sure am son. So I hear your going to play with Jacob and Cliff again today is that right?" Pops asked me.
"Yes sir. If it's okay with y'all.." I say waiting for him to respond.
"It's fine with me. Just be careful." He said with a serious tone in his voice.
"I WILL POPS!" I say running back upstairs to my room. When I walked into my room my sister, Christine, was making my bed. "Hey Christine. Are you excited for church?" I ask sitting on the bed she just made.
"I sure am Michael. Were leaving in 5 minutes. Are you ready to go?" She asks sitting down next to me.
"I'm ready. I can't wait!"
