A house would be nice

November 24, 2014

we all wish, dream of being able to fly

i want to be on the ground, looking up.

we all wish to be photographed

i want to be behind the lens, looking out.

but most of all, i want to know how i can help my family

its hard to fit in a three room house with eight people, one disabled, three children

an elder, a mother, an aunt and I.

i want to make everyone happy but i can't do everything

but what i can do is make it better, for the kids and I.

education, food, clothes, happiness is all we need.

but a bigger house would be nice
