Jake.
I’m Jake,
With an ‘e’
Jake Robertson actually,
I’m 15 years old,
I live alone,
In a foster home,
In the city,
My home is made from ancient stone,
My parents passed away when I was younger,
The only family I have are Nan and max,
On pop’s old farm,
It has been passed through the generations,
Max is next in charge,
Max is a very nice guy,
I look up to him in many ways,
Nan she’s always been healthy,
Still to this day is,
Next year I’m moving in with them,
For all the many years to come,
In the future I’m hoping to become a doctor,
Earn some money,
And be able to care and look after my family,
So they can have an enjoyable life,
Unlike some others.
