Join Two Writing Teachers and other teacher-writers as we share a slice of life every single day in the month of March.
I stand
in the 4th grade hallway
as he trudges along
in his work boots
with one pant leg caught.
Many boys are flaunting
their Air Jordans,
but not A.J.
A.J. proudly wore his
work boots.
He was a worker
a helper
a blessing to those in need.
Eight years go by
and I watch
the service
as his life ends
much too soon.
Below the casket
sits a pair of boots
and I remember.
