This new year

I will still be 5.

A 5-year-old knows his letters.

This new day

I wish I had a new name.

I wish my new name was J-money.

If my name was J-money

I would play with dollars.

I would play with my brother

outside in a field

and tell his friends that I got a new name.

This new day,

goodbye.

Goodbye, Mommy.

Goodbye, Daddy.

Hello, Brother.

Ja’Lantea Johnson (age 5)
