WALKING BY By Jocelyn Galindo (Third Grade) Contest Winner Sometimes I walk by the empty street. I feel the beat inside of me. I take another step. Wondering what would be of me someday. I walk by Avenue Street. Thinking, what a lovely day today. I feel the burn. Deep inside my lonely soul. I nearly cross the street by my house. I wonder why I sincerely feel so much sorrow for myself. “The chant/song/poem is what heals the heart and soul”…..Perie J. Longo, PhD. RPT NAPT 1997
