“The Last Look” by Matthew Kinzelberg

Matthew Kinzelberg (grade 6)

THE LAST LOOK

At the beach
The last moment
Watching the waves
That crash against
The sand
My dad watching over me
Like a star
The sunset going down
I felt like I was
Taking my last breath
Like my dad did
I will never forget him
I have a task he asked
Me to do
To play baseball
The way he taught me.
