A BETTER PLACE by Chelsea Nanawa (Age 12) I felt pain like no other -- I felt it all over my body like an annoying little brother. My smile stayed up and never down even though I always hid that awfully ugly frown. Peace is what I wanted but I have never received. God felt my pain and surely believed; While in my sleep I began to dream. When I opened my eyes I was in a world unseen. My pain was gone and my hidden frown disappeared. A feeling of death struck me with fear, The feeling of fear came true, but God did this for me and you. Do not be sad of my past because I turned my life around. Up here with God and Heaven, I'm finally holding my own ground. I am gone forever and you know it's true, but the good news is that I will always love all of you! PDF Printable Version
