“Show and Tell,” Friend, Aug. 2013, 38–39
Show and Tell
Goodbye
Only a couple fireflies
Flickered
In the trees,
Like a lightbulb
Left to burn out.
A sign that summer,
Sweet summer,
Was starting to fade.

I love to ice skate. About a year and a half ago, there was a competition coming up. I got so excited to enter. Then I found out that the tryouts and the meets were on Sunday. I was so disappointed. I already knew what to do. I would miss out on the competition, but I could feel good that I was making Heavenly Father and Jesus happy.

When I was in kindergarten, there was a boy named Kevin who got a brain tumor. It made him so he could not walk. Some kids were mean to him. I liked him. We were both friends.
