Family Poem by Allysyn Bryant

Yesterday

it was great. i finally spent a day with my family. my family. the bryant family. pictures all around me with smiling faces and people that look like me. my family. i laughed until my ribs hurt. i smiled until i thought i couldn't anymore, then i smiled again. i was happy just happy. i was finally home. not a certian house no. but home. with my family i was home. it was the best time that i had, never have i been more relaxed.

then i went back to the house where i live. i loss the feeling. i wasn't happy. there stood people i that i love with all i got but i wasn't home. my birth family gone. and i hurt. my mother and brother leave tomorrow... the thought make me cry... i'm sad.

but i'll hold on to the yesterday and remember my grandmother smile, my grandpas hug. and how my mother told me she was proud of me and my brother's smile, because i know i won't see anyone for a while...
