Home is in My Family's Arms

I woke up one morning to my mom’s beautiful Nigerian cooking. I said good morning mom. Then mom said good morning, Peace. Then I said I'm as hungry as a horse. Mom finally said I'm cooking fried rice okay I said. I said I'm going to go wash the dishes. My mom said OKAY. After washing the dishes my mom said the food was ready. After eating rice, I started watching tv. Then my sister said it's 11:00, it's time to go to piano class. Okay, I said. I brushed my teeth; I took a bath, and I wore my clothes. I finally said I'm done. As I checked the time it was 12:15. As we dashed to music class my teacher said we ‘re going to l learn a new song called seven years. After music class my parents sat me and my sisters down. Then my parents said your grandfather is dead. But I know everything is going to be okay because home in my family’s arms.

Peace
