Little boy, so innocent so sweet.
Your eyes are like the blue waters of the sea
Water that reflects all the love you have like the sun
And though you're still ever so young
The happiness they show spans a lifetime.
Little boy, so playful so full of mischief.
Your hands are like branches of a tree
Always grabbing for the wind able to bring music from
it with the rustling.
Ever creating, ever building
Gently grasping my hand leading the way.
Little boy, so bright so smart
Your tiny mouth so full of teeth that never bite
indiscriminately
It is your envoy for what is on your mind
Some words not so sweet, but never false in their meaning
Some words stronger, the ones you first learned, more loving
still.
Little boy, so wonderful, so cute
Your heart is bigger than any will know
It holds all those things you keep dear
Mother, Father, friends and family
It is good to see that there is still room for me
your little sibling to be.
The world was dark
so far from the sun
the land was hard
touch down was rough
The air is thin
as I took in the alien sky
three moons and mountains high
below my feet unforgiving rock
Two meters from here
a darker world still
a hole so deep and cleanly cut
natural it could not be
Peering deep inside
my lantern would not help
nor no pebble tossed in
no sound could be heard
Leaning further I could hear a moan
a flash of light I did not make
slime spurt in my face
it was the last thing I would see
Monsters of every kind
coming together to rejoice
in the evil they will find
that comes not from their minds
Humans, lions, tigers, witches and warlocks
good beware when you hear them knock
each with their own abilities
will bring darkness from the light
A parade that would frighten any heart
singing and dancing their dangerous songs
only one thing is clear
Disney must be here.
Taken from her homeland
made aware of things to come
it was not fun being the only one
who would be the last of her kind
She grew up alone
given no toys
kept in a box
filled with noise
Of all the things she wanted
Only one mattered
She would see
her home again
even if it were shattered
Plagued by feelings
she didn't understand
she moved forward in life
with all control out of her hands
It was so until one night
as she lived in the dark
there was nothing of fright
that could make her run
This night began with a noise
one so loud it was nothing to enjoy
she scratched at the walls with
bleeding hands, pleading, screaming
There was no escape
from the fortified crate,
the sound she had heard
was her own heart break
She felt what she knew was the end
The screams of her family and friends
filled her mind and ripped it apart
as she tore at the box that would not bend
Blackness encased her
It soaked into her heart
she thought it was the end
but perhaps it was a start
She used the skills
that were thrown upon her
with a thought she was able to kill
those who had entrapped her
There was no satisfaction
no thought no feeling could bring
back her world and freedom
nothing ever would
The blood on her hands
no longer her own
Enslaved for eternity
All her hopes have flown
Left all alone in the universe
In the darkness of the night
A wonderfully strong mind
never again to see the light.
There's always a tale to be told
From the days of old
Listen and you'll hear the wonders of life
Even when the world is in plight
Have you not heard?
Every day comes a new
challenge, the unknown
That's what we're here for
it is what you can not fight
There's always a lesson to be learned
With a tear or a laugh
When the day is through and the story ended
that's when we take what was given
and make it our own
In our dreams the truth comes
There we are free to fly, to swim,
to become what we will.
the answers are found there alone
Yet the moment we wake up
all is forgotten and we must start anew
one more song, one more rhyme
it's yet another chance to learn
and grow from the seeds we have planted
Dreams can be remembered.
Stories are captured in books.
Songs turn over and over in the mind.
Now and forever if we try, for
There's always hope
if we don't take life for granted
Light hearted he came to me
With a smile and outstretched hand
no malice did he bear
with a soft hand did he lift me up
his love overfilled my cup
"Life" he said, "Would never be
complete
if you were not born unto this land.
There is no other that can match your fairness
your strength of heart or love
and your soul is as free as a dove."
The winter came and he held me tight
the summer blazed as he blocked the light
Gene, Daddy, Father; They're all the same
It's his love for me that will forever remain.
If I were to give up my heart
I of course couldn't live
It is something of which I could not part
So why, oh why, should I?
Some would ask to remove a limb
I balk at the thought
And ask if they would on a whim
Not that easy is it?
Would you do it for money?
There is not enough in the world
What a silly question.
I'm not that kind of girl
What would it take
To convince you
I can't, I won't, I don't
Do these things
So how could one ask
Me to do something like this
It is such a hard task
To give up something so close
My dogs are my heaven
They are my pals
With them my heart is leaven
So sweet they are to me
They would give their life for me
I would do the same for them
They make my life full of glee
I will not give them up
So do not ask
Do not imply
Simply accept
And I won't die.
If there was a day
That I would call my own
It would be this one
For it's the best one.
There's no problems here
No one to yell and scream
Only the quiet of this room
And time to dream
There's the sounds of planes
But they're no harm
To the time of piece
And love and charm.
If I were to make it better
There's only one thing I could do
It's so clear to me now
I'd spend this time with you.
Remember what it was like to play?
Remember how we used to laugh?
Remember there was no black and white?
I haven't forgotten.
Remember the stars at night?
Remember the animals in the clouds?
Remember the stories we'd make up?
It was so long ago.
Remember the towering slide?
Remember leaving for the first day of school?
Remember the friendship we had?
It's always been with me.
Remember kick ball?
Remember being bullied?
Remember bullying right back?
That wasn't right.
Remember changing schools?
Remember the long bus ride?
Remember dissecting frogs?
Junior high went by so fast.
Remember growing serious?
Remember the first time behind the wheel?
Remember that first job?
Why did we let ourselves grow up?
Remember a big fight?
Remember silence?
Remember loosing friends?
Graduation was so hard.
Remember collage?
Remember all those books?
Remember going out into the world on your own?
Is this really a dream?
Remember yesterday?
Remember what you need to do tomorrow?
Remember to slowdown.
Life's too short to take for granted.
Remember the good times.
Remember the bad times.
Remember the mistakes and successes.
Learn from them.
Remember to look behind you.
Remember what you've left back there.
Remember to take it with you.
Or you'll loose it forever.
What a world it is
How beautiful, how lively
The blue sky, and colorful leaves
Add to the joy of this eve
As happiness spreads, so does love
People take notice and pass it along
We take it and wear it as a glove
One that keeps us warm all winter long
Laughter and singing fills our hearts
Presents and trees brighten our eyes
Children can't wait for Christmas to start
So early to bed, early to rise!
The smell of baking cookies
And the turkey on the table
Family, presents and other goodies
Make this moment memorable
As this time of year brings us together
Lets not forget our fellow brother
As time of giving is about to start
Give more than gifts, give your heart.
The children have grown and so have I
My suit has gone from brown to red to green
And has started all over again
Without catching one person's eye
Candles have given way to electric lights, to plasma
bursts
Real trees, to plastic, to space age polymers
Their scents replaced by sprits of liquid in the air
How can one live with such flair?
I sat in my old sled watching as flying cars wizzed by
Amazing they don't even notice me
Or even slow down to say hi
I used to fill their hearts with such glee
Faster and faster life goes
Faster and faster children grow
No more singing, no more bells
No more of those wonderful smells
Oh the families still gather
To sit around and gab
They share their presents
Yet it's all the same, so drab!
No this world is not the same
As the one I used to love
Sometimes I wish for help from above
Yet my prayers go unanswered
Still I do my duty every Christmas eve
I board my old sled filled with toys
And through the bustling cars we weave
I had a mission to visit every girl and boy
I came to a house
In the middle of the night
The place wasn't as quiet as a mouse
There was screaming and yelling and a really big fight.
Normally I wouldn't enter
I wouldn't even come near
But this child had been good
All throughout the year
Using my powers I have been granted
I snuck in past the security cameras
Under the door and over the beam
I made my way without being seen
The arguing went on, louder and louder
The distraction made me flounder
I tripped on a rug and made a loud crash
I soon had the attention of all in a flash
"Intruder!" Hollered the father
"Thief!" Shrieked the mother
Upon seeing my sack of goodies
Clearly she could see they were only teddy's
"It's only Santa." A little voice said
behind me
The man's brow furrowed red,
"What are you doing up? Go back to bed!"
But she stood fast and adorable as only a child could be
I turned to her to the astonishment of her parents
And handed her the toy that she had always wanted
There was a gleam in her eye, and I heard her mother
sniff.
"That's the nicest thing she could get as a
gift."
She looked up to me and smiled,
"Thank you Santa." A tear filled my eye.
Whether it be 1825, 2025, or 5025
Those words will always make me blithe
So never fear
No matter what happens
No matter what changes
I will be there throughout the years
To wish you a Merry Christmas!
