Diligence

Saying that you tried your best on that faild test
Practicing the song even if you only get to sing along
Going to every class even if you don't pass
Singing with all your heart even if you dont get the part
Being brave enough to dream even if you don't make the team
Trying your best to pray even if its not every day
Still loving your life even if your not yet a wife
Running every second of the race even if its last place

Diligence is not being better then the rest 

It's just simply trying YOUR BEST

One Day

One day we will walk through the hallways.
One day that is filled filled with no fear.
One day we will be not be ashamed of ourselves.
One day we will be the beautiful girl we see in the mirror.

One day we will conquer.
One day when we are brave.
One day people will look up to us.
One day we wont need to hide in a cave.

One day people will say they love us.
One day people will see that they were wrong.
But as for right now and this day,
we just have to take a breath and be strong.

Sing to Breath

The mother pulls out the camera.
The toddler smiles and gives a cute wink.
"Come on baby doll, smile at me and sing."
She opens her mouth and there is silence
and she sings with no care in the world.

Then all of the sudden she's in middle school.
She never talks and never makes eye contact,
but when she is given a solo in chorus
that is the one thing she will do no matter what...
she will sing with no care in the world.

Then she has to save money for her life long dreams.
Singing at bowling allies and bars
with mean, cruel, hate filled people
telling her what to do, and what to say
and they make her sing with no care in the world.

In the car and then a CRASH!!!!!

*********

Laying in a hospital bed lifeless and dull.
Her young daughters come in and say
" Mommy, mommy please don't go!!!"
She wanted to calm there tears,
but all she could do for them was
sing to them like she had no care in the world.

And she is in heaven now singing
With Them ..........For Them
To Them........ Because of Them
and doing it with no care in the world.

The Answer comes too Late

My shorts are on and my feet are bare.
I'm shaking from head to toe with no jacket
as I walk through the icy frigged water.
My teeth are chattering and my lips... the color of a plum.
My face is pale and I can see in my eyes I'm on the verge of giving up.

Then - suddenly- a brightly colored thing floats right in front of me.
I see what it is and I almost start to cry tears of joy... a scarf.
I grab the scarf and hold it against my face for a long, long time,
as if it held my life between it's treads of pink and brown.
It's thick and warm and warms my face up after a while.

With this new found hope and spring in my step I keep walking.
It doesn't take long for this hope to completely vanish,
leaving me only wanting nothing but more
more warmth, more gifts, and more delightful hope.
Unfortunately the only "more" I get is more icy water.

Then I look to the side of the river and my eyes light up
for right in front of my eyes, right next to the river,
are mile and miles of clothing, hot drinks, and BOOTS!!
I drag my fragile body to the side of the river and pick up everything I can.
I put on the boots first and instantly feel a dramatic difference.
I feel the warmth rising up my body
as I put on hats, gloves, jackets, and coats.
Everything, all the misery, hopelessness
and hatred of myself being foolish enough to not be prepared
all of it has vanished in my new warmth.

Then all the sudden my face starts to get hot.
I feel myself sweating in my new cloths.
I look up at the sky and almost start to cry.
For once again I was too late.
For the cold, frosty, unbearable, winter
has now turned into humid, sticky, hot
Summer.

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.

My Little.....

My little piece of sky.
I try to grab it, oh how I try.
Where everyone can fly
oh my little piece of sky.

My little pile of dirt.
Where none of the answers are curt.
No one ever gets hurt
on my little piece of dirt.

My little patch of land
is tiny and unnoticed but grand
and the time is finally at hand
to go to my little piece of land.

My Sisters

A friend is someone you can trust and love.
A mother is angel sent from above.
A brother is someone who will lovingly tease.
A father is always praying on his knees.
Oh and there is one more that I almost forgot.
But this relative loves you a whole lot.
This relative is your very best friend
and she will be until the very end.
Like a mother she is an angel too
and like a brother she teases you.
But one of her best qualities
is that she is an example by being on her knees.
So as you may have all ready guessed
a sister is the one that is truly the best.
When it comes to sisters I have two
and I just wanted to tell them that I love you.

We are the Nobodys

We are the "nobodys"
or at least that's what they think.
They say that we are just to different
and laugh when we say we'll never drink.

Sometimes when they say that
we can all feel each-other wanting to cry.
So we grab each-others hands
and let out one big sigh.

But together we are somebody
because we see each-other for who we truly are.
On the outside we might look like a nobody
but on the inside we are all a shooting star.

I am proud to be a "nobody"
and have my "nobody" friends.
And I hope that this poem will have
a hopeful message in it that it can send.

The Wishing Fountain

I watched as others made their wishes
and I wanted to make one too.
But I knew inside my heart
that my wish would never come true.

Then someone looked at me,
she must of been thirteen.
She was much bigger then me
but she didn't really look mean.

Then I came over,
and oh what joy it did bring.
When she open her hand
and I saw a silver thing.

She put the quarter in my hand
then squeezed my hand tight,
and she told me to think
with all of my might.

She told me to think of what I want
something more then silver and gold.
She said "Maybe I want to be happy
or have a hand to forever hold."

"Never tell anyone this wish."
But she said to always remember.
"Remember the day that you made this wish,
the third of September."

I still haven't told anyone this wish
and sadly it hasn't come true.
But this I want to ask....
I have a wish but do you?

Advice from a friend

She is in a world where she doesn't belong.
It's hard and rough
but she has to be strong.

Peers don't understand and so they make fun.
And sometimes she feels
like she is the only one.

As she walks alone in the big, crowed hall,
she feels like a nobody
lonely and very small.

As people watch her pass them by,
thats all they see... a nobody,
just someone who's shy.

At first that's all I saw I was just like them.
I didn't see an unique flower....
she was just an ordinary stem.

Then one day that all quickly turned around.
When I saw her help someone
who had been pushed to the ground.

And now she is my closest friend.
I am someone she can trust
and I will be until the end.

Sometimes she will come to me with tears in her eyes,
and i give her a hug,
as she opens up and cries.

I try to comfort her and tell her it will all be OK.
"You just be positive
and most of all pray.

Because he loves and knows whats best for you,
and will help you get through
all of it too.

And I have to tell you something before we go to first core.
I love and care for you if not the same amount
then much much more."

School :]...........School:[

Paper, pencils, flash drive, glue,
and everything will be color coded too.

Paper, pencils, flash drive, glue,
why do we go to school
I have no clue.

I am excited about other things and not just paper and pens,
like boys and clubs, and finding out all the new trends .

At least I will be able to see all my best friends,
but the only exciting thing about school
is the day that it ends.

So sorry summer but my school just found a new queen,
because when it comes to learning, I am a learning machine.

So goodbye sweet summer goodbye sunscreen,
because my mom is making me go to school.
(I know she's mean.)

Notice

You were the match
While I was the blown out candle
You were the sweater
While I was the cold person
You were the map
While I was lost

You were always there for me,
but I never seemed to notice.
While I was lost in a cold, dark place,
your hand was reaching out to me,
but I never grabbed it.

I didn't take your help,
( even though I needed it.)
Once I got out of the cold, dark place
I lived in the light for a long time
and then one day I remembered your face.
I remembered how happy you were
when you saw me finally smile.

You were by my side the whole time.
You help me through it all.
That is the reason I am writing this.
I am writing this for you.
Because I couldn't bare it any longer
I just like you to know
That I have finally noticed you.

The Joy brought from a Baby

As I watch little babies cry
I stop and look and wounder why.

Why can't they be quiet
and not make a peep.
And why can't it be their
bed time when they fall asleep.

Yes a baby is a curious thing,
but it is magical all they can bring.

Well if I'm great you're extraordinary

They talk for hours and hours

about everything on their mind.

When she is upset he knows

and will call just to make her smile.

"You are such a great friend," she says.

"Well if I'm great you're extraordinary."

7 years later she is making dinner

while he comes home from work.

The kids run to him and give him hugs.

She turns and smiles and he smiles back.

"You are such a great wife," he says.

"Well if I'm great you're extraordinary."

We will go to a magical land

Come with me to a magical land.
Put your trust in me.
Come along and take my hand.

As the evil wind whistles through the tree,
that is our cue
to go to the land were we are free.

We will come back in a few hours.
But for right now lets use
our imagination and special powers.

Our wonderful imagination is how
to get to the land.
So the time to imagine is now.

So come and take my hand.
Put your trust in me,
and we will go to a magical land.

A Family Realationship

Gaining family relationship is a two way street
One person can not go all the way
but the two of you must meet

Maintaining a family relationship is a hard thing to do
It's rough and difficult,
and sometimes you just don't have a clue

So let me tell you what a family relationship is made of
Forgiveness, truthfulness and understanding
but most of all love
