When I was a Child
When I was a child
the days went by so fast
I would try to savor
every minute
by fishing or playing a board game
or just waiting. Waiting
for a long, long time.
by Brandon R., Grade 4, Potomac School
I'm From
I'm from the Flathead Rez.
I'm from the fish in the river.
I'm from the pine and oak trees.
I'm from the smell after it rains.
I'm from the frybread
that tastes so good.
I'm from the "I told you so's" and
"It's your fault's."
I'm from the Jump Dances and the
powwows.
I'm from the snow that
glitters in the sun.
