An Old Friend

years pass
and time goes on

Earlier in my life, in school we did a project, where we took care of a praying mantis, and nurtured it. And when the time came, we let him free to roam. He looked happy to me, the day he went away. The next day I came back, and he was gone. I missed him, and my mom gave me the speech of how "he's off to better things, he has a life to start living" I never knew he would come back. For some reason I know it's him, I missed him a lot, and in a shock. yesterday, I saw him, and didn't even get the chance to get a good look, because I was off to school. I came back from school and he was gone, I thought he had moved on, but today, as I walked towards the doorsteps of my house, I saw him, and I knew that he knew he was home, and I hope this is where he will roam, maybe he'll make friends with Elijah, or Baby Elijah, but I know I will see my praying mantis friend again some time soon.
