A BETTER PLACE

by Chelsea Nanawa (Age 12)

I felt pain like no other --
I felt it all over my body like an annoying little brother
My smile stayed up and never down even though
I always hid that awfully ugly frown
Peace is what I wanted but I have never received
God felt my pain and surely believed;
While in my sleep I began to dream
When I opened my eyes I was in a world unseen
My pain was gone and my hidden frown disappeared
A feeling of death struck me with fear
The feeling of fear came true, but
God did this for me and you
Do not be sad of my past because I turned my life around
Up here with God and Heaven, I'm finally holding my own ground
I am gone forever and you know it's true,
but the good news is that I will always love all of you!
