your vision, your voice
Sports are helpful they help
You with your health, you can lose weight.
To some people sports is their career.
To some people sports is the medicine to their sickness.
Roses are red violets are blue sports help me so they will help you.
Sports help you in many ways.

The salty wind blows my bag around,
While people shriek their joyous sounds
Hair twirling around my face,
I’m kicking sand all over the place.
The birds soar overhead,
Stealing food so they stay fed.
Now into the water I go,
Mesmerized by the ocean and how it flows.
I wade in ‘till the water is up to my waist,
Then I submerge my head even though it leaves a bad taste.
Under the water it is quiet and calm,
I feel a fish hit me as the waves push me on.
My head breaks the surface, I feel refreshed.
I see pelicans in the distance taking a rest.
I glance back to shore, my sister’s playing with sand,
My mom and aunt are laying down, trying to tan.
I start heading back, jumping waves as I run,
Stumbling and falling, but having so much fun.

We drove by the oceans
Drove by the sea
You can see all the animals swimming
In the clear blue sea
Fishes and turtles having
A relaxing day on the sea
Enjoying the sun and the warm water.
After an amazing day it came to an end
It was time for all them to go to bed
And have a great next day.

Who said, she said
There is a monster underneath my bed
It arose and hit it’s head
I thought they were dead
Who said, she said
Then it came out
Looking at me wanting to shout
And then it started to pout
Without a doubt
I started to shout
Who said, she said
When I got scared
It started to care
Then it became my alive bear.

Every day is the same thing for a lot of us. People who can do whatever they want are fortunate, like celebrities. You could have all the money in the world and still be lonely. We love the highs in life, but we have to get through the lows. You have to have a little sadness in your life so you know when the good times come. If you have light on light you have nothing, if you have dark on dark you basically have nothing. I hate people who commit suicide, I think they’re selfish and only think about themselves. These are my thought, these are the things I think about most of the time. I think about a lot of things but these are the main ones

I’ve never wanted to rule the world
Hold it in the palm of my hand, watch it unfurl
Until now
Because, ma chérie, if I did
Then to all misfortune goodbye you must bid
For I would give all happiness to you
That is how you know my devotion is true
I would give you sunrises and sunsets
Carefree giggles and no regrets
The smell of the earth right after it rains
When fresh-grown flowers are all that remains
I never wanted the universe under my control
Content with standing still, never moving my soul
Until now
Because, mon coeur, if it was
Then I would set your heart abuzz
With all the good things I would find
And pray that your angelic self would think it kind
I would give you lazy grins and peaceful days
Basking in the sun’s warm rays
Talking, writing, laughing side by side
To you all love I would provide
I want the earth within my reach
Not for selfishness, but so that I may beseech
Every cause for laughter, every reason for smile
To surround you and stay awhile
Ma moitié, my other half
I would steal the world on your behalf

Pain and Sorrow
I have pain and sorrow down deep in my soul
I have this sorrow that is breaking me down everyday
I try my best to smile and be happy
This pain is not something to ignore
Pain is like a person
Once that person has died they can’t come back to life
I have pain and sorrow down deep in my soul
Pain is like a knife
Once it touches your skin
A scar will be stuck to you for the rest of your life
I have this pain and sorrow down deep in my soul

When the wind was howling and the birds were chirping,
I saw you from across the crowded room.
I was waiting for a great big hug or someone to lean on and you were always there.
When you open your arms great, big, and wide I know that you were by my side.
Through the storms and hurricanes through the bright summer days.
I know that you will always be there for me.
Boom, the news broke,
Everything went silent.
All you could hear was that little girls weeping tears.
She felt so lost and afraid.
You had just disappeared and there was nothing to be heard.
The little girl tried to remember his voice,
But it only slowly started to fade away.
When she went through old photos and seeing all the bright faces.
That little girl started to weep.
Knowing that she will never feel the same way.
She tried and tried to remember all the good times,
But some happy thoughts never last.
He was always there for her with a hug or a funny joke.
Maybe it was to brighten her day or just make her laugh.
He was always there.
That memory started to fade as that little girl thought and said,
“Why can’t he come back?”
Be careful about what you say,
And how you treat others because
“You can’t always get what you want,”
And they might be gone in a split second.
When things get tough you will need someone there for you,
So honor and love the people you have in your life.
Just like that little girl wished she could just give her dad a great big hug
Or hear a joke from him one more time.

Once there was a storm outside
It sounded like it was along my bedside
I woke up from my sleep
To find out it was a dream
