I Am

I am a lonely tree getting cut down by logger.

I am a little girl getting her feelings hurt by her

best friend.

I am a goose in the sky flying south for the winter..

I am a baby bird just learning to fly.

I am a snow man watching the sun coming out.

Love is Like


Love is like a princess finally finding her knight in

shining armor

Love is like opening a Valentine card and it says,"Be

mine."

Love is like a tree that has just fallen and suddenly

rises up again.

Love is like a rose blooming in the winter.

Dream


In my dream time I am a knight soaring on a dragon.

In my dream time, I am the night hiding from the day.

In my dream time, I am a kid in a ghost town.

In my dream time, I am a shooting star rocketing to

the ground.

In my dream time I am an eagle watching all.

Wonder

Wonder is like the sun, moon, and the stars giving me

a ride.

Wonder is the waves going back and forth at the beach.

Wonder is sometimes like when fear comes but you fight

it and it goes away.

Wonder is like little children learning from their

mothers and fathers.

Wonder is a baby born on Christmas and being baptized.

Wonder is why we don't get a second life after we die.

I   Am


I am a rooster meeting the sweet morning air.

I am a dog chasing a black cat.

I am an angel with hope.

I am a dragon in the sweet gray sky.

I am a book that has fear stories.

I am a story that nobody reads.

I am a chart that nobody looks at.

I am water that nobody drinks.

Love

Love is beautiful yet, not as beautiful as the one you

love.

Love might break your heart yet when you find love

again, your heart feels good but it never again will

be fixed properly.

Love is what holds the world and our heart together.

Love is the rose that you give to the one you love.

I Am

I am a million breezes blowing in a valley.

I am a small baby just being born from no one.

I am small but mighty.

I am someone who does not care what people say.

Wonder

Wonder is the excitement that fills the air,

Wonder is the lives that go on around you,

Wonder is why you are alive,

Wonder is the taste of a cookie on a warm summer day,

Wonder is the black cat that strolls by your house everyday,

Wonder is how children younger that I who have no fear,

Wonder is the words in your heart and the memories you've lost,

Wonder is what's going to happen in five years,

Wonder is the things they can take to fill your heart.

Wonder is what's inside of you.

Wonderful

Wonderful is taking a ride down to the depths of the ocean,

Wonderful is lying on the beach with the sun on my face,

Wonderful is sitting in a tree with a friend on a summer day,

Wonderful is laughing and haveing fun with a best friend,

Wonderful is Christmas Eve and waiting for Santa,

Wonderful is why dreams come true,

Wonderful is in you.

I Am

I am the answer to my mother's prayers,

I am the American flag waving boldly in the wind,

I am the braveness in the captain's heart,

I am the ocean with the sunset lying on me,

I am the girl sleeping, but dreaming about the new day,

I I am the joy in my father's heart,

I am the sore on the wounded soldier,

I am the fun inside of the bobcat,

I am the proud girl waiting for her friend to come play,

I am the child crying but waiting for her puppy to come home,

I am the tree the two friends play in,

I am the sky saying good night,

I am the fireworks on the Fourth of July,

I am the laughter in the baby's eyes,

I am the gift on Christmas under the tree,

I am the joy that fills the child's heart,

I am the Hawaiian Ocean waiting to be ridden,

I am the moon with the silver mist light shining over the world,

I am the Palimino grazing in the field,

I am the cake no one likes to eat,

I am the sun setting in the sunset,

I am the puppy playing in the yard,

I am the child dreaming as the world goes dark.

The Spirit Of Christmas

The spirit of Christmas lies way deep inside.

The spirit of Christmas is in the air.

The spirit of Christmas is everywhere.

The spirit of Christmas sweeps the nation.

Christmas is full of hot cocoa galore.

Christmas for you I will do almost anything.

But for Christmas this year I'll give you a present and for that present it's my heart,

Waiting to be opened by you!

For My Mom

All my wishes from the past mean lots and lots to me.

All my Christmas wishes decorate the halls with lights.

All my wishes make dreams come true,

All my wishes come from Santa, , but one present is right here.

All my wishes will come true when I unwrap you!

I Am

I am the clock ticking by seconds.

I am a snake in the desert looking for prey

I am snow coldly coming down

I am the water giving fish a place to live

I am the breeze slightly thgrough earth

I am the tree swishing in the wind

I am the bird you see everyday

I am a squirrel in a tree trying to crack open a nut

I am the cycle of life

I am the boat going through the water

I am the ant marching with others

I am summer giving sunlight for children to play

I Remember

I remember when you tripped me on a rock and laughed

I remember when you pushed me off the swing

I remember when you weren't my friend until I brought chips to school

Then you said you were my friend

I remember when you hurt my feelings

Remember me the person that was your friend

Maria L

Remember Me

        Remember me the one you put in the hospital,

        remember me the one you pushed in the mud,

remember me the one you embarrassed on my birthday,

  remember me the one you kicked and then ran away,

remember me the one you hurt and pulled my hair out,

                     remember me your best friend,

                            but now you're not,

                           the one you jinxed,

                            but not any more,

                                   I'm gone!
