The Secrets of Life
Caroline A ( 5th Grade )
A girl comes down a lonely road of regret . Me , I sit watching the cars roll by over and over . The girl comes up to me . She asks “ Can I sit next to you ?” I say , “ Sure .” She is silent .
I tell her the secrets of life .
I start with family . “ Family is for company and care .” Then food . “ Food for life and joy .” Love . “ Love for happiness and compassion .” And faith . “ Faith for hope and dreams .”
