Early this morning
Mommy and Daddy get a call
from the school.
The roads are too icy for school.
Brother stays on the Xbox,
and sister stays on her phone.
Mommy tells sister
turn off TikTok.
Everyone's too busy
to notice me.
So I go to my church,
my haven,
my paradise,
my boarding pass.
Our bookshelf in the hall.
I pick one
and go to my room.
I go back to bed,
my blanket like a seat belt.
And then I travel the world
through the pages.
Soon, I'm flying across the country,
no! The world!
I meet new people
and learn about new places.
I'm seeing the world
when I grow up.
