THANK YOU GOD THANK YOU

I didn't post this, but a while ago back in March I entered a poetry contest at my local library and the other day, (Thursday the 21) I won 1st and 2nd place! Now before you correct me, one of the rules was to write two poems per person. So we're driving there and I am praying to the Lord. Praying that I won't make a fool of myself, then we get there and enter the meeting room and we're about to take our seats when a librarian comes to us and asks me to sit in the front.  A very  nervous girl (me!) sits up front.  Now the program starts we go through the 6-8, 9 year olds and finally the 10-12. 'In first place' says the librarian (OKAY THE LIBRARIAN SAID MY NAME BUT I  CAN'T SAY MY NAME WHILE BLOGGING) 'the eleven year old!). shocked,  I get up ,shake the judge's hand receive my certificate, my $30 dollar gift card(walmart), read my poem and get a goodie bag. I sit down. Then the librarian gives the list to the judge (for second place) he looks at it and he's all like hmm uh huh and I am thinking "it must be someone with a really hard name or something" then the second place is announced....me! I am really surprised, shake the guys hand again, get my certificate and gift card ($20,walmart,total $50)read my poem  and sit down (no goodie bag :(  ) that's it. I reach mommy and get a big, big hug while she  tells me she had to wipe tears away! I am just thanking God because I really didn't want to read my poems but I did and I really didn't think they were good at all but thank you so much God, and here are my poems

The Unbearable Heat

Its very hot, too hot really

I’ve had too much lemonade

Just to cool off in the heat

But it was worth it

It was fun jumping around

Playing hide and seek

Making mud pies

And trying to keep cool

The sun has set now

And its time to go home

Time to pick up the trash

And go on home

simmer summer

Just imagine it
A perfect summer day
No flies, no bugs
And not much heat

Lemonade cups stand around
And ice pops too
How good they were!
Wish I could have more 

Its dusk and we still play
Hide and seek of course
It gets late and we go inside
What a great summer
