Seasons

-Fall-

Leaves fall down from trees

We watch the children play games

Cool winds blow about

-Winter-

Snowflakes come in clumps

Snowmen stack up way high

Snow angels appear

-Spring-

Rain falls from the sky

Umbrellas go up around

Thunder awaits now

-Summer-

Children shriek about

It is very hot outside

Pools soon will open

Too Much…Why?

Why did this day

Have to come?

Why did all those

Days have to come?

The times when

Emotional pain

Hit me and

Knocked me over.

The days when I

Created my own

Puddles of tears

And sadness.

The days when I

Wanted God to

Take me instead

Of them.

I went through

Too much pain

And sorrow.

Now, it’s

Been about

Two weeks.

Six more and

I have to go

Through the same thing…

Again.

Too much,

Too hard.

Why?

Why me?

Why do I have

To go through

This…

Again?

I love them

So much,

But I knew

It wouldn’t

Last.

Can’t I just get

A second

Chance?

Every night,

I pray to

God to make

Sure they are

Safe and that

I’ll get to

See them

Someday.

Will my dream

Come true?

I guess I’ll

Find out on

The day I die.

Too many tears,

Too much,

Too hard,

Too much sorrow,

Too much sadness,

Too soon,

Not enough time.

Why can’t my dad

Get a license to keep them?

Why?

Why me?

Why do I have

To go through

This…

Again?

I want to

Keep them…

Forever.

I need them…

Man’s Best Friend.

I hope they’ll

Never forget

The times

We spent together.

I’ll never forget you…

Man’s best friend.

My Grandma

My grandma was fantastic

She said I was amazing and terrific

She knew just what to say

She knew just what to do

But I’ll never forget the day

My Grandma passed away

Freedom is Coming

They took you away

right after that special day

I shed so many tears

that was the day I faced my fears.

I can only hear your voice

but I don’t have any other choice.

I take care of what you left behind

Don’t worry, I’m just being kind.

I can’t wait until you’ll be free

then they will see,

the love between You and Me.

Dad

I love you dad

Even when you are mad.

You are the best

When I am sick and need rest

When I am sick

You always know what medicine to pick.

You are so smart

You always help me with math and art.

You are the best dad ever

I could never ask for anyone better.

I know you love me

I will always be your little baby.

When I used to fall off my bike

You helped me get it right.

When you die

I will always know your mine.

Fifth Grade

Fifth grade, the if grade

If I do good in school,

I will get a reward.

If I do well on my test,

I can be the best.

If I do my best,

I can be better than the rest.

Fifth grade

A jungle,

An opportunity for a good future

What is a Mother?

What is a mother?

A mother is someone who is good for advice,

Someone you can count on to keep secrets,

Someone to help you when you need it,

Someone who shares their stories with you,

And most of all, someone to love you

By Nicole

School

Somewhere you go to learn

Cheating on a test will get you in trouble

Happy when you get good grades

On the path for an education

Offering help to fellow classmates

Learning new things every day

War

What is war?

Is it fighting?

Is it madness?

Is war what you think it is?

Guns shooting

Men and women yelling

What is war?

War is when soldiers go to places and fight

For peace,

Love,

and……….

Forgiveness

So two countries

Can work together and ……….

Live in peace

By Kelsey
