Say Thank You

Say thank you when someone buys you a book or two,

even if you already have them.

Say thank you if someone reads you a book,

even if you have heard it a million times.

Say thank you if someone buys you an animal,

even if you are allergic to it.

Say thank you if someone takes you to a restaurant,

even if the food is bad.

Say thank you if someone buys you shoes,

even if you don’t like them.

Say thank you if someone gives you money,

even if it is a penny.

Say thank you!

Braden H., age 8, Arizona

Storm

Late at night

the wind howls,

the storm roars.

Raindrops pound on the ground

like drumsticks on a drum,

a massive shower

from the massive sky.

Lightning breaks the night.

A bullet with a tail

flashes in the dark;

an electrical whip

slashes the earth.

Thunder booms and crackles,

roars like an angry lion.

The storm moves on and on

through the dark night.
