John submitted this wonderful poem:
House Guest
When they brought her home
from the hospital, it seemed
like a good idea
to keep her. Then she started
knocking things over, messing
herself and screaming
in the middle of the night
She looked at me
like I was the stranger
I told Mom it might be a good
idea to bring her back
She was too much
But Mom said
Grandma
would be staying
***********
That got me thinking about how strange and wonderful family can be. For Friday School, choose one family member. Again, feel free to use any length or style you want. Have a great weekend!

The Fridays are coming too fast and furious for me. I can't keep up. Here's my Family assignment. I'm still working up courage to face my fear and I've forgotten the rules for Haiku so you'll have to remind me.
By the way, is this the right way to post? By entering a comment? I can't find any other place to enter my writings.
My Brother
Courage of a Warrior,
Strength of a Knight In Battered Armor,
Wisdom of a Great and Gentle King,
Compassion of a Saint,
All these things I see in you,
Make me proud to call you,
My Brother, My Friend

Thanks, Marianne
