Everyday

Every day another thing happens on Earth,
Every day there is a death and another birth.
Every day someone laughs, and somebody smiles,
But in another country someone’s fighting all the while.
Every day I think of you and someone thinks of me,
Every day someone gets married, and will live happily.
Every day someone loves, and may not be loved back,
Every day someone new is hired and somebody’s given the sack.
Every day the sun rises high,
Every day someone wonders why.
Every day comes to an end,
But tomorrow’s round the bend.

New Year

Things have changed, it’s a New Year,
People filled with hope and cheer,
Filling their glasses with champagne,
Letting go of old hopes and pains.
Cheering at the midnight bell,
Trying to contact in the texting hell,
Children rushing around screaming,
With excited smiles, bright and beaming.
Forgetting the bad times of yesterday,
And starting something new a different way.
Making resolutions and hoping to keep,
Time is making a great leap.
Celebrating all through the night,
And finally settling down at Morning’s first light.

New Year.. Out with the old and in with the new

May God bless you in 2010

I am Glad

I am glad that I am here,
That I can live without fear,
That I have lots of Christmas cheer,
That my days are clean and clear.

I am glad that I’m not poor,
That I don’t live on someone else’s door,
That I don’t need nothing more,
That I have my own roof and floor.

I am glad that people care about me,
That I have a loving family,
That God is watching out for me,
That he keeps me well and happy.

Merry Christmas.

Girls Like Me

Boys like girls with pretty faces,
Boys like girls from exotic places,
Boys don’t like girls like me.
Boys like girls who are fun and carefree,
Boys like girls with personalities,
Boys don’t like girls like me.

I may as well give up,
I may as well not try,
There’s no point in hoping,
I’ll never get a guy.
Because boys don’t like girls like me.

Boys like girls who are stick thin,
Who don’t eat like garbage bins,
Boys don’t like girls like me.
Boys like girls who are nice looking,
Boys like girls who like art and cooking,
Boys don’t like Girls like me.

I don’t seem to be like them
I’m not what they love,
I don’t look like an angel sent from above.
I’m not like those pretty, funny girls,
Shining like an ocean pearl,
That’s maybe the reason why,
I will never get a guy,
Because boys don’t like girls like me.

Anger

I’ve closed my eyes, taken a breath,
Counted from one to ten,
I’ve tried to think of happy thoughts,
To make it better again.
But the anger keeps rising, boiling bubbling,
Like a soda can, ’bout to explode,
I wanna scream like a banshee, lash out like a fighter,
I’m in agressive mode.
So don’t tell me to chill out and cool it,
Don’t tell me to sit down and talk.
I’m gonna sit here and rant and scream,
‘Til that angry feeling stops.

The Ice Skater

Sliding along the clear, cold ice,
She twirls, she spins, she flies.
Round and round she goes,
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow,
She jumps and points her toes,
Lands, then off she goes.
Gliding graceful as a swan,
She could do this all day long.
But she has to stop her flight,
The rink is closing for the night.

What I’d do for you

I’d stay up for hours and hours,
Just to see the shooting stars,
Then maybe I could make a wish,
And receive from you, a first kiss.

I’d walk alone for miles and miles,
Jump over lakes filled with crocodiles.
I’d sit outside in the pouring rain,
Just so I could see you again.

I’d dye my hair blue and bright green,
I’d jump off a skyscraper onto a trampoline.
I’d do all these things for you,
And I hope you’d do them for me too.

Rememberance Day Poem

I am lucky to be here,
With very few worries and fears.
No gunshots ringing through my ears,
No screams when enemy toops come near.

I am lucky to live in light,
To feel warm and safe in bed at night,
When all the British soldiers fight,
It just doesn’t feel right.

Each day they lose, while I gain,
They fight with struggle, fear and pain.
Around the courtyard, bodies lain,
Never going to move again.

As I sit in my place and sob and cry,
As I think of the many lives gone by,
To save my country, to save my life.
I sit back and wonder, why?

Why should we take another’s life?
Why does it have to be this way?
But then I ocme to a realisation,
It will always be this way.
In memory of the soldiers who fight every day to make our lives safer. Rest in Peace and God bless you.

Halloween’s a’coming!

Vampire capes and witches hats,
Wailing ghouls and fluttering bats,
It’s the night of the black cats,
Halloween’s a’coming!

Kids’ screams ringing through the night,
A full moon, shining bright,
Horrors told by candlelight,
Halloween’s a’coming.

Children knocking on your door,
Asking for treats and sweets galore,
They come back every year, asking for more.
Halloween’s a’coming!

“Where there is no imagination there is no horror.”
- Halloween Quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

The Seasons

Secrets whispered in the gentle breeze,
Moonlight shafting through bare trees,
Pools of golden flowing from lights,
Falling snowflakes of crystal white,
Winter.

Droplets of water on new flower buds,
Sheep and baby lambs chewing the cud.
Rays of sunshine lighting the day,
Waves of warmth, washing the white away.
Spring.

Meadows filled with beautiful flowers,
Bees and butterlies near and far.
Laughing children with ice cream cones,
No more of the school bell’s drone.
Summer.

Crisp leaves crunching under my feet,
In school again we shall meet.
Candy apples and scary masks,
Carrying hot chocolate in metal flasks,
Autumn.
