This is not a poem.... It's a year

A whole year is a long time
Yes, it is a VERY long time
and yet it can pass us by
as quickly as a shooting star

I try so hard to remember
what I was like a year ago
what type of things did I say
What things did I think of

Would I want to go back
I ask myself again and again
back to the place where I wasn't writing
to the place where I was lost in my own foot steps

I look back and see all of the things
the things that I had to overcome
I don't feel bad for myself though
I'm glad I had those things to climb over

Yes, those things gave me bruises
they made me sad
they made me cry
and they left me sometimes with no hope

But they also made me strong
they made me great full
They made me a better person
they made me a happier me

It's almost funny how bad things
Things that are hard and tough
In the end turn out to be
the good things that you will look back to and love

I've been through a lot this year
some good times and some bad
but in the end
I've grown up this year

and now I wave goodbye
Good bye to a hard year
good bye to a magical year
good bye to MY year.

Before you leave

This is the place where we met.
This is the place where we cried.
This is the place where you told me.
This is the place where inside I died.
This is the place when I realized I loved you,
and before you leave I would like to say.
Darling, my new love, and dear old friend,
please don't go away.

Best Friends in Heaven

They say that your sisters on earth
were your best friends in heaven.
That is something that makes sense
something I think is true.

What about the people with no sisters on earth.
Were they lonely in heaven,
always sad,
always blue?

No those people were best friends
with everyone in heaven.
Best friends with me
and best friends with you.

But that would be
to many sisters on earth.
So God in heaven
knew what to do.

He sent the girls down to earth
to be in a family with all brothers,
because the boys on earth
need a lot of love from a sister too.
