CROSS COUNTRY  

My legs spin round and round I keep on staring at the ground.

I turn to the side to talk to Maia I think I can feel my heart on fire.

I get a glimpse of the finish line I hope I didn’t take too much time.

I go to Sheryll to get my place, there’s so many sand-flies on my face.

I feel really good about my placing, I don’t want to do anymore racing.

I can see my dad looking for me, I really hope he bought the car keys.

I hop in the car and drive away, I think why couldn’t we have cross country another day.
