Saying Good-bye

by Ella Clairborne
Grade 4

Saying good-bye to my

auntie was oh so hard

it felt like I was getting

punished.  I had no one

to stand right beside

me no more.  I was crying

right by the casket

more and more each time people came up

one by one saying

good-bye

except for me.  I stayed there, steady

asking

why?
