This is all i got
My Daughter
And what I did is looked straight at my parents and said 'I'm getting a cat"
After much debate, I went and purchased a furry feline .
I named her princess and held her close,
But she didn't particularly like me and though I was gross
Yet gradually I taught her to trust me,
So that she'd purr and curl up on my knee.
The first time she ate was out of my hands,
And henceforth she stayed with me throughout the lands.
Every time I come home she's the first to greet me,
And she stays close to me as she climbs a tree.
Grandma
My Grandmother
She means so much to me
She may be gone from the land of the living
But with me she will always be
Because my memory hols her dearly
And my memories recalls her ways
And most of all I miss her
A love that always stays
It stays inside my memory
And is often on my mind
Because my grandma was irreplaceable
Ping pong god
Most balls people throw,roll, or fling
They kick them or strike them .
But for lazy old me
I like tireless actions
to just stand,flick my wrist and go game.
Ping Pong to me is like eating or sleeping
It comes natural.
It started like everything else i was new too
I was bad,
But the excitement of playing was great
Days pass by and all I do is get better.
Then I realize this is my favorite thing ...
In the world!!!
Trips to mexico
Yellow lines ratted grey pavement Have become our guides
14 hours on the road All the stress of sitting still and waiting
Traffic zooms by life goes on A small convey of trucks,Cars,Campers,and bikes on the back of the other cars
Taking their time cruising at their own pace cruising along
Making Small turns Pit stops
Grey pavement slowly decays Decaying into the brown pavement known as mexico
Just dirt and gravel
for miles and miles
Snow
SNOW is falling on the ground,
Shadows on the ground are falling.
Leaves are whirled beyond recalling,
The withered leaves are dead also,
Snow and shadows fall around.
It is as though dread angels knocked
The rusty knockers of the doors fast locked,
Angels slaying us with ailings slow.
And on the verge sad clouds are trailing ...
All the houses are closed like sombre tombs,
Slow snow is filling all the gathered glooms.
Friends Throughout High School
Great friends are such a treasure,
and are often far and few.
So when we count our blessings,
we count great friends, like you.
Loving families and true friends
have immeasurable worth.
And bring the most tru happiness
that one can know on earth.
So we thank you for your friendship,
and we thank dear God above,
for giving us great friends like you,
to cherish, and to love.
Mom
And dressed me and taught me to talk,
You guided my faltering, hesitant steps
When I first started learning to walk.
And then came the day I started to school,
When you realized how fast I had grown,
And you told me what wonderful fun it would be--
Then watched as I skipped off, alone.
You make all the days of my childhood so gay,
So filled with contentment and fun.
That the memory I have of my growing-up years
Is a cherished and wonderful one.
And then, when I started to be on my own,
You offered a sure, guiding hand,
Whenever I needed a listening ear,
I knew then that you'd understand--
For all of your thoughtfulness, all of your love,
Your patience and gentleness, too,
I'm thankful--for I have a wonderful treasure--
A sweet, lovely mother like you!
