Texas seemed like a good place

To settle and keep my heart beating at a slow pace.

With my four siblings

And my mother

We moved to a quiet place where we wouldn't be bothered.

After three weeks, Alisha, Allison , Aiden and Andy (My siblings) started pre-school

They made some amazing friends

And mom and I got jobs

At a local diner.

Though we were well off

It wouldn't last long

A million dollars may seem

Like one's heart song.

But I rolled my die

And made my bet

I'll never let down my guard

Now today, not yet.

The first month was good

Running smoothly as should.

Mom met a guy

Who brought her on dates.

I worked and took care of my sibs

Letting my mother live her best life

The second month came fast.

October was so cool

Until I saw a package

Laying on my front porch

On a stool
