Thankful Poem
by Shaquese Betts, Grade 4

Shoop Academy
Fall/2001

 

I am thankful for my mother because me dad is not here anymore. He passed away when I was three years old. And if she wasn’t here it would be a hard life for me because I would live with my grandma and she hardly has enough money to buy food because ofbill collectors.

I am thankful for my friends because whatever happens to my family I will still have friends at my back for whatever problems happen.
I am thankful for being able to go to school because I would not be able to reach my goal to be a news reporter.

I am thankful for my life because my big brother did not survive when he was born. I did not know him and I don’t know what cemetery he was buried in.
