My mother gave me a basketball
On my 4th birthday.

When I had it I felt the power
Of shooting it from my roof.

It was the most nicest ball
I have ever seen.

It’s gray with a nike logo
On the side.

Everyday, I use it after
I went to school.

I wish I still had that
Ball now at the age of 14.

That ball was like a son
To me.
