Poem
Jayshawna was thrilled that Thursday had finally arrived. Daddy was picking her up today; and she had not seen him for eight years! She had known this all week, but she dared tell no one else, for fear she would be disappointed. She dressed up in her favorite blouse; her reflection winked in the mirror. She looked cute. She ran back twice to give her little brother Dayshaun and mother an extra tight hug. Her mother would mention later to many people that Jayshawna had had the best week. And that she remembered her turning and blowing her a kiss from the doorway, something she Had never done until Thursday. Her mother looked at the clock, it was 8:17 a.m. Shawna got behind the wheel of her blue Chevrolet, and barreled down the road, Having no idea how she was going to see her Daddy but knowing she would. Because she had dreamed of it several times last week, and today the instant she woke She knew today was the day. Her smile could not have been any wider. She passed all of her familiar haunts – her favorite hang-out restaurant, and her best friend Shel. Shel waved wildly, trying to get her to pull over, so she could tell her that she was going steady now. Jayshawna waved and yelled, “Catch you later, I am in a big hurry today!” She was invincible, she was wild, she was free. She was glancing at her phone when she came around a bend and heard the horn. It was a SEMI, in her lane. No. She was in his lane! She swerved, overcorrected, and her car landed with a horrible thud in a ditch, hitting the bank hard. Jayshawna’s Daddy was there in an instant. Are you ready? He asked. It was 8:45 a.m. earth time when she was led home by her Daddy.
