Friends Forever

We have our good times.
We have our bad.
We strike a smile,
or worse yet shed some tears.
But that doesn't stop us,
we've been friends for years,
We go fun places all the time.
And most of the time,
we spend more than a dime.
We talk on the phone
all the time.
We talk about makeup, hair, height,
and-- of course--our weight.
We believe in fate,
and that soon in the future
all our many fantasies
will come true.
Most of all--
what this whole poem is about--
We believe in our friendship-
and that's what really counts!


True Friends

A true friend listens
to what you say
Life's a sculpture,
friends are clay.

Friends are notes
to life's great song.
A melody that
carries you along.

Whether it's a joy
or a fear.
Whenever life is hard
they're near.

In a world of darkness
friends are light
So thank your lucky
stars tonight.

When life gets hard,
and goals seem far.
It's then you'll know
who your true friends are.


True Friends

True friends,
Will stand by your side,
When you need help,
Or when you're feeling blue,

True friends,
Will forgive your mistakes,
And forget them too,
True friends,
Make you happy,
They won't make you sad,

Value them for,
They will last till you're old,
Or dead.
They worth much more,
Than silver and
Gold,
Value them,
Don't let them slip away.


Happiness

Happiness is nice,
Happiness is sweet,
Happiness is good,
Happiness is short.

Happiness isn't fighting,
Happiness isn't anger,
Happiness isn't wrong,
Happiness isn't even Happiness.

Happiness people say is when you win,
Happiness people say is when you hear good news,
Happiness people say is when you smile, but
Happiness I say, is when you share.



The Pride

When the lion lifts his mighty head,
He roars loud enough to wake the dead.
He struts around and says "I'm King"
While his pride works for his well being.
Oh such a mighty beast is he,
King of all that he can see.
When the lion roams the land,
He sees himself within the plan.
See the family and how it lives,
Each member plays a role and gives.
See how they work within the plan,
These mighty beasts that roam the land


                           

Angel Heart

The soft blue waves ran over the sand, The sun is golden red as it sets in the west, The sand stings my feet as I look to the horizon, The Angel Heart is nowhere to be seen, Oh I wish it would appear, For my Mama said she would come back, When it was time, She died two years ago today, Oh sonny, she said, Please don't forget me, I am going away now, Wait for the Angel Heart, For I'll be aboard, Don't weep when I am gone , I will be happier there, Just watch the horizon , For the blue sails of the An-gel Heart... No more did I hear from her, as she faded away from me, I realized she was dying, I tried to get my daddy, before I knew it she was dead, I was still in her arms when she died, A smile on her face, That never died away, My daddy was crying, never really stopped, Until the next morning, I found him in his bed, Just like Mama he went away happy, Now they both dead, I was all alone with my sorrow, I couldn't stay there, It hurt too much, I ran away to the beaches, Where no one would never find me, I built a shack with the few pieces of wood, That would come adrift, Everyday I waited for her to come for me, On the Angel Heart, This night I eat my fish in sorrow, Mama isn't here with me, Every night I dream of her, Now as the diamonds come through the velvet sky, I cry for my mama, Oh when are you coming for me!, I can't take it anymore!, I go to sleep too close to the edge, I know what has got to be done, I let the ocean swallow me up, Taking me away from hell, To a better place I hope, I suddenly find myself on land, Right near a big dock, I see the big blue sails, The name on the side strikes a memory, I cry out in joy, Oh mama I've waited so long, You have come to me just as you said, Impatience is in my voice as I wait for her to dock, She flies off the ship, Just as fast as she can, She comes to hug me, With daddy not far behind.

Grandpa, were you watching when I learned to tie my shoe? Grandpa, did you see me on my First Communion Day? Grandpa, were you with me when I acted out my first play? You've been very special to me, and that I thank you for. You'll always have a special place in my heart, a placeforever more!
AN UNFORGOTTEN FRIEND

   
                                   
                           You do so many special things,
                           That make life more worthwhile.
                          You always seem to take the time,
                          To understand and share a smile.
                        And because you give such happiness,
                           Through thoughtful things you do.
                           It`s wonderful to take thischance,
                              To wish life's best for you.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ME

                             
    When everybody around me is joining the crowd, and Ifeel that
     it won't make me proud, I stick to myself, cause' Iknow all a
                          long, that's what it means to beme.
      If I feel happy, when I feel sad, my feelings arereal, and that
      makes me glad, to know that I am genuine andunique...being
      myself is what I seek.  I am what I am, and that'show I know,
                             just what it means to be me.
   My decision counts, for what I am, when it all works outI know I
   can trust myself to make the right choice, and that iswhat it
                                  means to be me.
I WILL CHERISH
                           
                         Each day was as sweet as could be
                          Each thought is as nice as can be
                              Never shall we part I pray
                          But,sad it is that fate put itthis way
                          So, each moment I shall remember
                            and each thought I will cherish
                        It seemed like we were togetherforever
                         But,now time had come that we part
                               Go our separate ways
                          Knowing not what ahead of us lays
                                But what I do know is
                          that each moment I shall remember
                              and each day I will cherish
                            For we will be friends forever
                         and I shall remember you in myheart
                                till death doth us part
THE BOX IN THE BASEMENT
                              
                         They told me never to open thisbox.
                     They tied it with ropes and locked itwith locks.
                      But I found the scissors and I foundthe keys,
                  And I'm down in the basement and down onmy knees.
                            And I am trying to open the box
                      That is tied with ropes and lockedwith locks.
                      But I can not get it to budge, whileI'm trying
                        I'm yelling "Oh Shoot" and "OhFudge."
                    I tried cutting the ropes and unlockingthe locks,
                      But for some reason I can not openthis box.
                                Now I got out the saw
                             And I begin to hem and haw.
                      I put all my strength and sawed offthe rope.
                        But I can not open the lock nope,nope.
                           I am beginning to sweat all over,
                            I just wish I could open thisbox
                         and have the luck of a four leafclover!
                          I am starting to get upset andmad,
                       But wait a minute something justpopped
                                And the box is open.
                                  Now I am glad! 

                                     The End
BEING YOURSELF
                             
              Being yourself means              
              Never having to change
              Into somebody else.              
              Being yourself is being known
              As a responsible person
              So that people will look at you
              And say, "she’s reliable."              
              Never change
              Be yourself              
              Your true self
              Is is the best you can be.
The Site Fights By SilverWing

A place for fighting,
a place for friends,
a place of togetherness
which never ends.

A place for faeries,
a place for fun,
a place for "fighting
and friendships begun!"

For the greatest things
to ever begin,
when in the Site Fights
you'll always win!
Beliefe SilverWing

A unicorn grazes in the nearby field;
a pheonix overhead refusing to yield
to a swooping gryphin persuing its prey
as the fading night creeps into day.

A fairy giggles from a nearby glen;
a pegases lands with grace, and then
the magestic dragon hords her gold
from the foolish knight so mighty and bold.

The firelight dances in the shadows that linger
as a evil hag points a devilish finger
over the land as the sun's rays weave.
Now tell me, friend, do you believe?
