English Assignment [CHILDHOOD MEMORY]
Bringing Home Beethoven
An image of a little me
Dreaming of what I want to be
One night and morning under stars
Tomorrow seemed so close but far
But it came way too fast
My camping trip didn't last
I was eating, eating
Woozy, eating
Heart rapidly beating
The next I know
I cant remember
My mind was cold like long December
I woke up in a pale white room
Tubes in my arm,
Needles,
My impending doom
I remember moving in the bed
So lazy I almost hit my head
The TV went loud with noise
There were gross and mean frowns on my toys
Doctors said they couldn't label it
Momma said they wouldn't try a bit
I guess my pancreas shut down,
As I heard
I didn't make a sound
We left the room
But didn't go into town,
We visited the hospital store
Beethoven wrapped in velour
The next day all was well
A miracle that broke this spell
I went home with my newfound friend
I still have him,
And will till the end.

Description

Minstrel Ayreon Says:
Oh man...I'm sorry to hear something like that happened to you! Are you able to go to school/work, at least? What virus was this?
It's amazing, though, how children are able to see the joy in such small packages. It's a real gift and I hope you'll make the effort to hold on to it.

Beautiful.
Houkka Says:
Great material! I loved it, apart from the second stanza, which has a part that destroys the rhythm which is, in this poem, done very well.
Good job :)
