The Fourth Grader

A Story by Jenni Bailey

I remember it like it was just yesterday
As I write this, I have a lot to say
It was my Fourth Grade Class picture day
I really hope my tears don’t get in the way!

My floral tan dress made up for my short hair
I wore my dress with such pride and care
The weather for my dress was fair
Getting my dress dirty? I did not dare!

When it was time to show my smile
My class was lined up in single file
I was ready to show off my style
I knew that I’d have hold in place for a short while
