I wake up on a chilly day,
Then I remember the Packers play today, yay!
Aaron Rodgers and Jaire Alexander come over to my house
We plan on how to win! They won’t squash us like a mouse!
We go to the stadium and the stage is set
Expectations will be met
They end up winning it all!

Just waking up in the morning,
Gotta thank God,
I stood up, got my grub on,
Then went to the gym before dawn,
Came back, called my friends saying
“Where y’all playing baseball?”
Went down to the field,
Hitting it far, making my boys fall,
Went to dinner with my boy,
Then went on a shopping spree;
Lost a lot of money!

I wake up in the morning and I step outside
I’m really thirsty, got coconuts on my mind
Going out with the fam, getting something to eat
It’s really hot, I’ma need some ice cream!
Meeting Jidion and Stephen Curry,
Hoping to be big like them, you see!
Staying up late, plating video games,
Getting W’s on a perfect day!

My perfect morning is breakfast in bed,
The sun’s out, nice Sumer day, my father out back
Fixing cars, then we hit the gym.
It’s just me and him. Then we go shoot some,
And I love to hear the swoosh!
We go outside for some fresh air, nobody hurting anybody else,
It’s the perfect day.
I go talk to my friends Anthony and Ace
And we go get some ice cream.
On the perfect day, I never want this to end,
Because nobody is killing anybody else,
and we’re just having fun,
We don’t have to worry about any guns,
Then I meet a nice girl with the perfect teeth
But she’s so shy and you won’t hear a peep
Then I ask her out to eat,
Tell her it’s my treat,
Then I go to the studio with some friends
We’re just rapping on some beats
Then I go back home and get some sleep.
Then I wake from my sleep
And I sit there and think,
“Wow, what a crazy dream!”

The weather feels great on a nice bright day.
To the corner store, my cousin and I make our way.
Shelves filled with Mexican snacks, that it’s difficult to turn our back.
The ice cream store filled with different flavors.
Chocolate, vanilla, mango, lemon, and more.
This day is different, not just a regular bore.

The bright green grass sways to the refreshing water from a sprinkler. Sun rays from my window greet my dog’s face. My sister talks as loud as a lion outside. A Notification on my phone says: From Mika. The blinding sun seems to be smiling brightly.
… and I have a slurpee from 7/11 🙂

Waking up from bed, with my dogs barking,
Knowing the day is knocking.
The smell of French toast my mom can make
With a side order of cake!
It is a sunny day.
Reminds me of Tampa Bay –
The weather isn’t too hot or too old,
I don’t feel old,
Reading a book in my living room.
With the perfect day, I can loom
Walking to the park,
Hoping it doesn’t get dark.
By Bernardo J.
So,
I wake up, yawn,
I be eating eggs and bacon.
Then I talk to my mom and dad.
I spend time with my mom.
Then at some random basketball court,
Then I’m chillin on the block,
Then I go on the porch
And sit down and chill
Until the block gets too dangerous.
I go inside
And sleep.

Waking up with a big breakfast in Mexico,
Go shopping with my family and cousins,
Riding in four wheelers with them.
Climbing on mountains to see the beautiful view,
Eating tacos and puzzle at night
Riding horses and helping my tia at her shop.
Buying bracelets and snacks at the plaza,
Talking to my tios and my grandma
About my day. Wishing my day would never end,
Wishing this day will continue every day
Of my life.
