James
by Shelby M. Forrest


James is a normal twelve year old
Active he likes to be,
But his ankle demanded surgery
So out of sports is he.

Tis disappointing to have to give up
The game he loves so much
But for a year of baseball play
He will be out of touch.

James is not at home alone
Good company there will be.
Two brothers and one sister will
Add up to siblings three.

And when the summer comes around,
His ankle should healthy be.
When he'll be able to camping go,
A happy boy we'll see.

He loves to see the holidays.
To school he will not go.
But there's a lot away from school
That's good for him to know.
