"The Day will always get Better"

Waiting at my stop, for the bus to come
I dropped my lunch change, and stepped in bubblegum
The bus arrived I then stepped on
I tripped on the stairs and my head hit strong
I got back up and walked to the back
The wind blew my dress up as I went and sat
I got off the bus, my day was going bad
I went into school and saw my best friend's dad
He said hello, I said goodbye
I saw my teacher and started to cry
She talked to me and I now felt great!
The day was over and my bus left for I was late,
but I just walked home, and let the day
take me away!
