Buying my First Computer

The window cracked, I awoke to screeching birds in the treetops outside,

Though I could have fallen asleep, I lay there, eyes wide.

 

Remembering the hard wok of the days in the past,

When sweat dripped from my face, after I cut all the grass.

 

One day a week after school, I would be found mowing a lawn,

Never knowing what I would spend my money on.

 

I sprang out of bed, ran to my secret stash,

Removing the big wad of cash.

 

A long drive awaits my mother and I,

I hated car rides, stepping in I began to sigh.

 

Before I could become anymore upset we had already arrived at Best Buy,

I took off faster than ever, feeling as though I could fly.

 

My eyes were fixated on the computer I had dreamed,

Through the glass the computer seemingly gleamed.

 

At the checkout I waited what seemed like years,

All I could hear in my head were echoing cheers.

 

The day had finally come that I worked for,

The time was flawless, nothing more.

This was inspired by my yearn in my early days for my first computer. I would work for my grandma who passed away recently and I will always remember her by this poem. I loved the day I bought the computer just as I did spending my days with my grandma.
