Growing Up Poems

Shattered Rain

Hear the Pitter
And the patter
On the window sill
This dark damp night.

No signs of sunlight,
Not even morning
Yonder the hilltops.
With every drop of wetness
Like beads fallen
From a bracelet
The earth shatters inside
Hurting every time;
But still taking it.
Showing no dent in its
Solid surface.

Like broken glass
Where darkness fell
On the street each night.
Seems never ending.
Like closed doors
With unknown things behind.

Will brightness ever appear?
Will the rain ever stop and
The clouds go away?

There Must Be More

So calm and peaceful,
Symbols of Purity;
Lonely yet comforting.
Enchanting white snow
Like frosting on cake,
Or magic from above.
Exquisite surroundings
With dark frozen lakes.
At night the wind howls,
The trees gently sway.
Disturbance of heat.
The crackèling blaze
Beams brightly this eve.
A walk filled with love
Might end with a kiss.
Deep feelings inside
That will freeze throughout.
One tries to hide sorrow
Through week smiles and play
But the yearning for more
Than just what may appear
Causes bleakness and pain.
Snow—striking to eyes
Yet all that one sees
Is cold white surface.
But fully examined,
One can find better things.
Looking through the cover
There has to be more.
There must be more here
That just can’t be seen.

When I was young

When I was young,
I flew on the swings.
I hung on the jungle gym
And dangled from things.

I twirled all around
In my pretty pink dress.
I played with crayons
And made a big mess.

I munched on sweet cookies
Hidden in a small jar
Up on the high cabinets
Or in my moms car.

I jumped on the bed
While bopping my head
To the melody I heard
Sounding like a fluttering bird.

I splashed in the rain
And jumped in big puddles.
I played with all the fantastic toys
I liked anything that made noise.

I used to have so much fun
Sitting out in the sun
Or swimming in the clear blue pool.
But that was when I was a fool.
After that I spent all my time
Working hard in school.

Now I have no time to play,
There just aren’t enough hours in the day.

I study all night
No time to fly kites
Dream of brave knights
Or big city lights.

As I got older,
I miss the days
Where I watched the trees sway
And the little yellow bus
That took me to school
That all of my friends had thought was cool.
The days of being my daddy’s little girl
Flew right by
And now I just sit in my room
and sigh.

Song

When I look around me…all I see...is you...
You’re always there for me in every way.
When you’re gone…I miss you each day.

When you’re here, I don’t care what's going on out there….I cant help but stare.
As I look into your eyes. I forget all the lies u told me.
Everything is perfect right now, how can I make it stay like this forever
All I’ve ever wanted is for us to be together.

I thought that we’d stay young forever
Just seems like yesterday we met.
Didn’t know what to do,
Then there was you

Come on over you make me feel right…come on over…I wanna be with you tonight
When I see u right before me, I wanna be all that I can be

Just An Actress

If all the world’s a stage,
I fell off and broke my heart,
If we all just take on roles,
I’m not meant to play the part.
If our words are only lines,
Then where’s reality?
If we all just act as random parts,
Is there true variety?
If our clothing’s just costumes,
Then my heart’s not on my sleeve,
If no one really matters,
Then there’s nothing to believe.
If all is written down in script,
I just forgot my line.
When my thoughts belong to someone else,
What is left as mine?

Grow My Lifetree, Grow

Grow my Lifetree, grow
Bring all the peace and happiness you show
Grow in the wilderness, with other trees
Growing without many needs
Just the sun, the moon, the stars, the sky
Come along, hold your branches high
And tower above everyone else
For hundreds of years, undisturbed until
A logger comes and says, “This one’s good.”
But he is scared; That’s understood!
For you are hundreds of years old
Trees that old are tough, he’s told
They are right, for your branches are
Huge! Enough to break a car
But you would never hurt a thing
Trees just like to stand in grass so green
The logger sensed this, he ran off
The desire to live can sure make you strong.

Icy Winter Days

They flip and rumble,
Acrobats without a care,
White wisps of water vapor,
Streaming strings of hot air.

Like spirits and ghosts rising from the grave,
Their white fluid forms
Disappear.

Save,
   One
      Long
   Ribbon
That
Winds
   Its
      Way

From this warm
Hot chocolate on this
Icy winter day.

A Beautiful Girl
A beautiful girl doesn’t pick favorites.
A beautiful girl listens when you want to talk.
A beautiful girl is there when you need her.
She isn’t afraid to be herself, and she doesn’t force you to be like her.
A beautiful girl keeps your secrets no matter what they are.
A beautiful girl doesn’t care what others think about her; she knows who she is, and she’s proud of herself.
She tries to do her best, and that’s what counts.
A beautiful girl lifts you up instead of putting you down.
A beautiful girl laughs, but not at you.

O Sister, My Sister!

O sister! My sister! I don’t like you one bit,
When you stand there and yell, you give
everyone fits.
You’re really mean, too loud you scream,
When things do not go your way.
You might not care but stand o’er there
so people won’t hear you yelling.
But sister, sister.
When you stomp and hit,
When you scream and shout,
I don’t like you one bit.

O sister! My sister! I love you a lot.
You’re always a friend even when I’m not.
You always share, and I know you care.
You’re sweet and nice to me too.
I know you love me, because you show me,
It’s very simple to see.
But sister, my sister!
We both understand
That for walking through life,
We’ll go hand-in-hand.

Struggle for Success

I’m shooting for the stars
I’m aiming for the moon
I’m soaring towards the highest mountain
I know I’ll get there soon.

I’m reaching out for help
Towards a goal that’s mine
I’m trying harder every day
To reach the finish line.

That brilliant light ahead
My guardian please be
Lead me to a place of pride
A place of victory.

My Favorite Jokes

Three blond men are on one side of a river, and they don’t know how to get across. The first man prays to God to make him smart enough to figure out how to cross the river. So God turns him into a brown-haired man, and he swims across.

The second man prays to God to make him even smarter than the first man. So God turns him into a darker-haired man, and he builds a boat and rows across.

The third man prays to God to make him smartest of all. So God turns him into a woman, and she walks across the bridge.
