Her feet trip over the flowered carpet point, spin, leap. 'Tryna make the moment last.' Arms curved, toes pointed, she dances.
The ladybug tickles over his nose, and he scrunches his face, grinning. He's named it Nemo. I lead it into his cupped hands and it crawls up his arm and he giggles, begging me to get it before it goes up his shirt. Walking to bring Nemo home and he leans his face close, whispers, "We're bringing you home. I love you, Memo." And I want to freeze this moment before it disappears. 'Make it last for a hundred more years.' His training wheels churn the cool pavement and the wind rushes against us, blowing through hair and cooling hot faces. Beautifully strong. “I had my eyes closed,”he informs me later. I ask him why. He replies, matter-of-factly, “I was enjoying it.” Sometimes you just need to close your eyes and enjoy the wind. *Note: The songs used here are Tell the World by Lecrae and Hundred More Years by Francesca Battistelli

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
