Age.

My name is Kevin.
I am 4 years old and I am playing with my cousin.
We run, we jump, we slide down the slide,
we play ring-around-the-rosie and we have a blast.
Then a couple weeks pass and my cousin is gone.
Now it's just me and my parents.
I'm an only child; Time passes and goes.

Years go by.


Now I'm 11
and going to go to a really fancy hotel called "The Hilton Hotel"!
It's going to be so fun! It's just going to be me, my friend Mark, my Aunt Matilda and Uncle Urich. We go on a big plane. The hotel we're going to is in Florida. Mark and I are really excited. Finally we get to the destination. We take a taxi to the hotel. We get our luggage and bring them into the fancy hotel. It's looks great. There's a big pool, a bar, a restraunt and many other things. We take the elevator and go to our room.
This is the life!
It has a big wide screen, a videogame station, roomservice, masages and even the internet on the TV! It was fun. About 2 months later we head back to Chicago. Also known as home. We drop Mark off at home. Then we go home. After a couple more days, Aunt Matilda and Uncle Urich go back to their home. My parents are happy to see me home again. Life starts to change as I get older. My parents end up having more kids, so now I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. It's hard being the eldest.

But it's also                  fun.


Then year's go by and soon enough I'm 35 and I have a beautiful wife and 3 adorable kids. Life's diffrent. Getting the kids to school, feeding them, picking them up, doing the bills, going to work and cooking meals. After awhile the kids start to grow up and
go
to
college.


Now I'm 67. Now my wife and I have a maid to help around the house. One day I'm walking on the sidewalk and see a woman with a man. On the man's shoulder's is a cute little kid happily giggling and smiling. It makes me sad and think of my children that are now all grownup. I get to see them and my grandchildren once in a while but not much. Time passes and eventually my wife dies of cancer.
Now it's just me
all alone
in a house.



Now I'm 94. It's been a hard 27 years without any children or my wife. I guess I'm going to have to live like this til' the day I die.


I'm 97. I'm enjoying my sleep. The next morning, I walk through the peaceful gates of Heaven.
