Free Throw



Free Throw

By Mary Guimont




Tick, Tock,

Five seconds count down on the clock.

Then it will be game.
A free shot needs to be made.

The nervous player stands in the spot
Where he hopes he won't forget how to make his shot.
He nervously hits the ball from hand to ground.
The audience quiets and makes no sound.

NO time to spare.
The player throws the ball in the air.
The crowd looks grim

.As the ball rolls around the rim.
Swish the ball is in.
Two points the team wins

I see my life and the four seaso...

In My Dreams

By Mary Guimont Last night I saw him. Beautiful smile, beautiful grin. He was alive and well in my dream I had yesterday again as though it seem Could this really be? Or did my imagination get the best of me? Upon seeing him I tried to hide. The lack of faith that I held inside. But when my eyes met his. They would not conceal. The doubt of faith that I feel. What dose it take? For one to believe, That life goes on That we never leave? That if we look. We will find. Those we love. Do not leave us behind. Not far from here They are all near. But doubt in our heart. Deny in our mind; A different place A different time. Yes, in my dream he did appear. To tell me he'd always been here. And that there was no reason to cry. That in death we do not really die. And in my dream he did show. That death comes for us to grow That it's n...
