Life

life is not fair
life is full of freedom
life is when you get called hands in soccer
life is you and others
life is when friendship is the only cement that will hold the world together
life is when giving is living
life is when you act as if what you do makes a difference
life is when I may not have it all, but together we have it all
life is life

what love does to your heart

you said that you will never leave me and then you did
you told me that you would always be on my side then
you moved to Idaho
you said that you will come and you never do
you never told us that you were going to move
I hope you know that I still love you and I really really
miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'!!

I Am

I am a sun warming all the children.
I am a phone that has a friend.
I am a surfboard in the ice-cold water.
I am a field with people walking all around.

I am a paper with a pencil drawing.
I am a fence with people jumping over.
I am a dog chasing a cat.
I am an eagle soaring free through the blue cloudy sky.

I am a trash filled with gross food.
I am a ball waiting to be played with.
I am a stop sign painted red.
I am a rabbit hopping through the forest.

[untitled]

Life is a snake shooting poison at the enemy
life may not he the party we hoped for,
but while we’re here we should dance
life is friendship
a promise made in the heart
unbreakable by distance
unchangeable by time
life is where the power to win must come from
and within life is the only way to have lots of ideas

I have changed

I have changed into a bee carrying nectar to the nest
I have changed into the sun shining the Earth
I have changed into a barking dog
I have changed into a colorful rainbow
I have changed into a colorful butterfly
I have changed into a shark in the ocean
I have changed into a hole that sucks you under the ocean
I have changed into a pirate

Wonder

Wonder is a rabbit hopping in the forest
Wonder is the touch of a ocean floor
Wonder is the scent of the pies my mom makes in the kitchen
Wonder is the sound of a wolf howling at me
Wonder is a place I like to see after I go to sleep
Wonder is when you see a bear crawling on me
Wonder is a scent that you smell the morning kitchen
Wonder is the taste when you eat a cookie
Wonder is you and you’re just like me

Wonder is...

Wonder is the sun in my eyes in the morning
Wonder is the cold water when I get in the lake
Wonder is the cold smooth pumpkin on my hand
Wonder is the sweet smell of sugar
Wonder is the leather in my car
Wonder is the fear in me before a foot race
Wonder is the soft fur on my lab
Wonder is the stars in the sky at night.
