just something
i wrote this today for a book report. enjoy!

Dear diary,
I have come so far from when i was just a rebelious fourteen year old girl helping a slave to freedom. I feel like an old rag; ihave served my time and now i only do what work is necessary. I have never been one to just sit and wait, but frankly I'm content. My time is passing by so fast, but somethings can not go unsettled; it has been five decades since I last absorbed the chocolate brown complextion of Afrika's eyes. It has been to long.

Today we have arranged to meet again,in the same room our friendship began. Oh i remember the fear,and the bravery that reflected off every square inch of her deep rich skin. I remember the deep glistening tears of sorrow and joy dripping down her perfect cheeks. I dont want to remember her anymore i want to see her in the present not the past.

Now i sit waiting in papas old library. at the same desk i sat at for years past. my cane is leaning against the chair, where it will stay for just one day. I will forget my age and walk with out it, the way i did so many years before when i was walking to freedom with Afrika.

Soon she will be here,and soon i will be ready for what ever comes next.

truly,
Lucy Bradford
