Poetry

Here are some poem's. What do you think?

The Stars

The stars winking merrily,

In a cheeky sort of way,

And presenting a sky,

Not seen during the day,

I am like the stars,

In a random place,

Yet showing creativity,

Through the constellations in space,

Those random places all connect,

At least inside my mind,

My thoughts moving quick through conversation,

Sorry to leave you behind,

I am always there,

Though not always seen,

Always wanting to help,

I am always keen,

I try to guide through trouble,

But I have limits too,

I'll try to be your friend,

And do as much as I can do,

I am the stars,

A bridge between two worlds,

Trying to keep a balance,

And to find both live’s pearls,

I am the stars,

Sometimes hidden from sight,

By those dark clouds,

Rolling through the night,

Grasping at my mind,

Until I’m full of gloom,

But soon I’ll be alright,

My light ready to bloom,

I am like the stars,

Waiting for day to end,

So you’ll see me later,

My enemy or my friend

Faith

The truth of the Gospel I know,

And I watch as the testimonies grow,

A miracle not needed,

Because the warnings we have heeded,

We had been spared,

So we knew that He cared,

His love is unconditional,

We know this,

our belief is not always traditional,

Although the worlds morals fade,

Our foundation has already been laid,

He is there,

Our Savior,

The immovable rock,

Upon which we build our faith,

And although the world will laugh and mock,

We will listen to what He saith

Drip Drop

Drip,

Drop,

The rain won't stop,

Pit,

Pat,

A larger splat,

Swish,

Sigh,

Comes nature's cry,

Swirl,

Twirl,

The darkening sky,

Flash,

Churn,

The lightening burns,

Roar,

Mar,

There's lightening's scar,

Crack,

Boom,

It's bringing doom,

Moan,

Groan,

From death's own bone,

Quiet,

Fear,

Now lend you're ear,

Pit,

Pat,

A smaller splat,

Drip,

Drop,

The rain won't stop

Patience

The lightening went crack,

And the thunder boomed,

as the darkening sky,

Gave the impression of doom,

The ominous howl,

Of the wind as it blew,

But then the storm faded,

And the sunlight showed through

Pencil's

Pencil's are nice,

Though they can be quite dull,

I sharpen it thrice,

Till the sharpener's full,

But alas that pencil will not sharpen,

Perhaps the sharpeners dull

Silence

Shhh...

Listen now,

Hear the deafening sound,

of silence

There is nothing louder,

Yet there is nothing softer,

then silence,

Shhh...

Be still,

Say nothing,

And you will,

Hear Silence

Christ's Light

So dark,

So dim,

There's only the moon's rim,

The fear,

I am blind,

I cannot see,

I must find,

The way to the end of the road,

But what is this?

How could I miss,

The Son peeking over the mountain,

Lighting the way,

I cannot stay,

Now that I can follow the road

Oh, and just so you know, I wrote them all. Now be honest and tell me what you think. Good or bad.

Love

An amazing man who helps kids know that the should wait to their married to do certain things said that the definition of love is "choosing the highest good for the other person." Now I that has a lot to do with love, but I don't think that it's the definition. I think that love is so incredibly special and sacred that it is impossible to define or describe it, but i'll give it my best shot. Love is something that is in your heart that is so complete and amazing that it makes you "Choose the highest good for the other person."  Choosing the highest good for the other person is what happens when you are in love. It helps you understand that you are in love, you choose the highest good for the person no matter what and you don't have to think about what the consequences could be for you, only the person in front of you matters. I think that when we subconsciously do this for all around us and don't feel the need to spite them or trick any one of them, then we know the truth of what Jesus our savior meant when he said "love thy neighbor" and "as I have loved you love one another." Because to love isn't to shower some one in gifts, or to feel a natural affection for them, it is to no matter what they or anyone else thinks of you, you will do what is best for them, and love them more each time you do it.

Vannessa

"I can't believe it, I look like a walking candy cane! and- WIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRVROOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM-hold on Chelsey, I can't hear myself gripe."

Shakespear

An amazing man. Shakespear had a vocabulary of about 50,000 words while the average american has a vocabulary of about 3,000 words. Although there is some speculation about whether or not Shakespear is the actual mastermind behind the amazing writing. Some think that it was actually a queen's grandson or son (not sure which) that wrote it all. However, being an author was looked down on so he couldn't take credit. Evidence to support this theory is that Shakespear was just a lowly townsman and shouldn't have known so much about palace life. But most still favor him as the genius behind it all.

More Paint!
