Your smile is the definition of beauty
Your eyes like a pair of stars
When you laugh birds begin to sing
And I know
Your mind is bursting at the seams
With dreams

Your heart is kind enough for me
Your voice brings sunbeams to the Earth
When you approach I flutter
And you know
I believe you will do great things
With your mind that is bursting at the seams
With dreams

Lost evergreen smiles
No more sugar coated laughs
All out of fulfilled hopes

My sun stained tears are dry
My broken dreams have been mended
And my sunken frowns have disappeared

I have been gone
But who I am has returned
Now I am here to prove
My evergreen smile is as strong as before

Her heart was pure enough to turn gravel to gold.
She had crimson lips that were curled into a constant smile that could brighten even the darkest days.
She was the girl helping the old man across the street and nurturing the bird with the broken wing.
She had flowered eyes and cried tears of sun.
Nothing could stand in her way.

Fulmore Middle School

7th grade

It’s the darkest night
Trick or treating and costumes
The scary noises

My family are all connected like a tall strong, firm, standing house
We all help around the house
My dad is the strong, supporting foundation and he supports the family
My mom is the protective roof and she protects us from the objects flying outside
My sister is the looking window and she helps us look outside at the small world
My brother are the tall walls supporting the roof and he helps support my mom with smiles and laughs

As happy as a student
All the work that is late
The tests that are due
What a wonderful day!

Where I’m From
I am from putting away laundry and cleaning my room
From Nike and Adidas
I’m from the rocky road and the red brick two story house
From soaring trees as tall as the eye can see
From the road seeming like a never ending trail,that no one knows when it will end

I am from the fresh smelling flowers and trees blowing in the breeze in my front yard
From the old wood underneath my bed that used to be my crib
I am from waking up on Christmas morning, and opening up mounds and mounds of gifts

And from long, shiny, straight brown hair that covers my shoulders or is held high in a pony tail
From Jennifer Cantu’ and Gregorio Cantu’ saying “Your smile is as bright as a ray of sunshine”

I’m from friends who are a treasure
From the nice dinners and the cracking of a joke
I am from “work hard” and “calm down”
From “Actions speak louder than words’’ and “Blessing in disguise”
I’m from crosses around my family members necks and the prayers for God to watch over us

I’m from Austin,Tejas
From chicken enchiladas as my favorite dish
From sweet, crunchy, chocolate chip covered, creamy cannolis
From the crack of dawn soccer games to mid afternoon basketball games

From the aunts and uncles who fought for our country
From the hearts of wisdom
I’m from the refrigerator magnets, walls and shelves hanging with photographs that frame our loved ones and special memories

My Universe, you’re big, confusing, and old
And how I love the way you expand and fight,
Too violent and massive to be controlled,
Invading my mind day and through the night,

Let me confess you are a beautiful hunt
You are more revered, lovely and grand.
Sometimes you are too grandly affront,
And sometimes too cruel and out of hand.

How I love you? There are too many ways.
I love your aesthetic stars, and Milky Way arms.
Thinking of your large arms fills my days.
My love is expansive because of your charm.

Now I watch your sky’s open stars,
With wide eyes and an open mouth ajar.

At night I lay down in my bed, with my fairy lights behind me.

Looking in front of me is picture of a tree,

Thinking about what is going to happen to me in the future,

Trying not to call myself a loser

Hiding under my covers scared what is outside of my blanket

Trying to think of something else, like me playing basketball, making a basket

Taking a breath when I get out of my covers and looking at the time

Counting how many hours of sleep I will get and saying I am fine

Remembering that it is a school day tomorrow and close my eyes

I hear this voice that is saying my name so I get up and see my mom saying get up and eat some fries.

Looking back she now knows how she had felt.
Seeing them in public made her head light.
She could not handle cards that she’d been dealt.
He did not know she adored him in spite.
His love belonging to another soul.
Her thoughts are gambled, and emotions tossed.
Without knowing, her heart was what he stole.
Seeing now, that what he passed up is lost.
She didn’t think she’d get over the thought
of surrendering risky bets at hand,
of not being liked by the one she sought.
Can one truly notice flaws not so grand?
She had thought that her flaws should be concealed,
‘cause who picks a daisy in a rose field?
