The Perfect Morning

The Perfect Morning

Jack Van Patten, Grade 4

Have you ever had a perfect morning? I have. Have you ever had a warm feeling in your stomach, excited for the day ahead? I’ve had that feeling. One amazing, Friday morning, I woke up knowing that my amazing morning would evolve into a phenomenal day!

That morning, I could smell the delicious pancakes, smelling like the freshest flowers. I could see my dad, reading the newspaper, looking as intrigued as a detective at a crime scene. I could hear my dog, drinking from her water dish, sounding like someone splashing in a lake. I could feel the air conditioner, as chilly as the polar ice caps. I could taste the sweet strawberries, tasting like the greatest dessert of all. And sure enough, that day was a great day!

I woke up knowing that my fantastic morning would evolve into a phenomenal day! I loved that amazing day, it was truly one of a kind. It put a great feeling in my heart, and a huge smile on my face!
