Lucy in a nutshell
Crammed between school and work
My head spins and I panic as I see the days go by
Dad: “You need to not be so lazy.”
Family of 7
Hartland area
Mom: “You don’t know what it’s like to live outside of Hartland.”
Five siblings
But, wouldn’t trade them for anything
Friends: “Oh, that’s a lot.”
Sheltered from the outside
Yet, been around the world
 Dad: “No, that place is dangerous.”
Loves to try new things.
Sports, food, cities, clothes
 Mom and Dad: “You can do whatever you want in life.”
Friends, memories, and more
No, I never get bored
 Dad: “Are you never not with people.”
Always wanting to keep busy
Sometimes, I get myself in a tizzy
Dad and mom: “Come home, you haven’t been home all summer.”
