Dear Child
Dear child
swallow your pride
go on and
Apologize.
Dear child
before you leave
take a moment to
breathe
Dear child
dry your tears
don't you cry
for I am here
Dear child
times change
don't be afraid
it's a new day
Dear child
be good
make sure you
do as you should
Dear child
listen to me
trust me and
you will be free
Dear child
I love you
little one
come to me
For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
Quarantine
She used to lay in that spare bedroom, wondering what it would be like if it were hers. She had shared a room with her little sister, which worked out when she was 9 and her sister was 3. But she is in High School now. She and her sister fought because she liked things clean and her sister didn't. After watching the movie Tangled she wondered what it would be like, to be stuck in this room. she thought of all the things she could do with this room. Now she knew, and it SUCKED.
As an active person, she couldn't go anywhere, and as an extrovert, she couldn't talk to people. She sat and did her schoolwork, paced her room, watched a show, read a book, and did all sorts of things to keep her occupied. She even tried a puzzle, which she wasn't really into. She had everything she needed. A desk to work on, a nice bed, books to read, music to play, and art to do. But without people to do them with, there seemed to be no point. She missed people. But what she missed most of all was when she was unable to see her basketball team play their first game. She wasn't the player, she was the coach and had really grown to care for the kids she worked with week to week. She had to miss the whole day, all the volunteer work. She was stuck and though she tried to fight it, even though there was no one there to see, tears ran down her face.
Bittersweet
A contradiction
so true to my heart
An oxymoron
that says it all
A paradox
of how I feel.
Time is a day on a beach
Time
slips through our hands like water.
Time
falls through our fingers like sand
Time
leaves a memory like a shell souvenir
Time
sometimes sweet, sometimes salty
Time
peaceful and dangerous
Time
relaxation and confrontation
Warning
"WARNING once you know me, you can't unknow me."
My friend told me that was the warning label that I should have.
We Bid Our GoodByes
We bid our goodbyes
Send you on your way
We give you our love
For you can’t stay
We wish you the best
With tears in our eyes
We pray for you
So you may be wise
We wave our hands
We give our hugs
Shower you with smiles
And coffee mugs
We play our last games
Until we meet again
When that will be
We don’t know when
We bid you goodbye
Send you on your way
We give you our love
For you can’t stay
Toddlers
Exhausting and funny
loud and cute
Messy and lovable
Sad and silly
running and sleeping
climbing and crawling
Plants
I would use plants to change the world. I think that every city should have a garden which is tended to by everyone in the community. Now, know what you're thinking. There are so many problems with that. Who would actually tend to the garden? That's expensive. where would you put it? But please hear me out on this one. Plants can solve several problems.
1) Food shortages. All across the globe, there are food shortages. With a garden growing food, especially if it is a greenhouse and grows year-round, all sorts of civilians would get the food that they need.
2) Obesity. America, as a whole, is fat. Some embrace it and some are appalled by it. But one way to help with the health crisis is through eating fresh food that is good for you.
3) Health in general. People need to be healthy and eat food that is good for their bodies and mind.
4) Community. A community has to come together and work with one another to keep the garden well-run. It would stir up pride, teach hard work, and bring people closer.
5) Global Warming. Global warming can also be reduced by a large number of plants, pollution would improve as well.
I understand that there are problems with the plan, but there are solutions.
1) People taking care of the garden. If you want to use the garden, you must help in the garden for at least 30 minutes. There would be people there to regulate the garden though.
2) Pricing. There would have to be a community effort given in order to create it.
3) Globalization. Getting it to other countries would be a slight problem and one that I am not sure how to solve. Any ideas?
What do you guys think?
TorchBearer
I am the torchbearer
My light shines bright
I am the torchbearer
I promise I will fight
I am the torchbearer
though darkness closes in
I am the torchbearer
Not to save my own skin.
I am the torchbearer
It is not always seen
I am the torchbearer
sometimes it is lean
I am the torchbearer
my words are true
I am the torchbearer
This light is for you
I am the torchbearer
come into the light
I am the torchbearer
get away from the night
I am the torchbearer
my light isn't gone
I am the torchbearer
but I must pass it on
I am the torchbearer
come to the end
I am the torchbearer
take it, my friend
A Joyful Noise
The guitar is strung,
the song's begun.
Everyone jumps in.
The drum is drumming
the mothers are humming
Time to follow along.
The baby's laughing,
the toddler's dancing,
A smile on every face.
Not in blood
but only in love
My family is here.
Make a joyful noise
It's what God enjoys
So the Bible says.
No matter how bad
No matter how sad
Make a joyful noise.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the Earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises. Psalm 98:4
