Mini Personal Narrative

A big part of literacy is writing; In our literacy class, we have read several personal narratives and discussed about it. Most personal narratives can be written or showed in many different forms including stories, poems and songs. Most of the narratives tend to describe a memorable moment, a meaningful part of our live or something that changes the way we become who we are. It is written about someone’s part of live specifically and not about a general idea.  I have written a mini personal narrative in a poem form which describes a memorable and meaningful memory I shared with my big family on my Grandma’s birthday.

My Grandma’s Birthday

The moment of joy
The moment of true happiness
Beyond the heart can feel
Beyond the brain can know
The day of sunshine and delight
The day of which everyone in the family smiled
23rd of August, 2018
My most rejoicing memory
Which I will never forget.

When the sun has done its job
Rising up upon the roof
The long tent filled with crowded people
Joining my grandma’s ceremony

All relatives are dressed-up traditionally
Welcoming all guests to come nicely

Excitement had suddenly flowed and filled up my mind
I can’t wait for this gorgeous moment when my grandma blows the candle

Interesting as it sounds, we did it secretly
Preparing the cake to celebrate, without any clues
When the time has come, we gather up around my old precious mama
Took out the cake, and light up the candles
Candles usually represent the age, but for my mama
There would be 93 candles
During that moment of relatives,
A flood of joy and sadness flowed through my body and mind
I felt something I have never felt before
A unique feeling had shaken my heart
Its power went to my eyes, and tears were forced to come out
We sang and she blew the candles, wishing something in her heart

What I know for sure is her happiness and love,

but who knows when will the last day be?
