My family is a watermelon. my dad is the red juicy fruit that everyone loves. my brother and me are the black seeds that annoy everyone, and my mom is the rind that holds us all together

Marley
Almost four years
You make me so happy
My smile stretches to my ears
You’re the smooth and creamy peanut butter to my chunky and sweet strawberry jelly
I’m so glad I met you
We connected like magnets
FaceTime when we can’t see each other
And non – stop laughing when we do
Building big, warm, cozy, forts
I love you so much, Marley

My Family is a Tree

My family is a tree with branches holding up the leaves of our relationship

My dad is the trunk of the tree strong and sturdy but even the trunk can fall at some times

My mom is the spring and summer leaves bright, stunning and, beautiful

My brother is the chipmunk of the tree digging into everyone’s business

My grandparents are the roots, making us all who we are

My stepmoms are the apples of the tree coming in and they turn out to be sweet

And I’m the leaves, connected to everyone in some sort of way

You smell like old lady perfume
You have powered through tough times
You are my inspiration
My aunty

You know you are drawing closer to an ending
Although we predict you are about to restart

You are only 92 you say to yourself
You have no concern for how things play out

Love oh Love

Love, a thing so sweet
I feel from my nose to my feet
I smile bright when loves in the air
And a warm breeze moves my hair
Sometimes love makes me cry
When I must say goodbye

With the sun and the moon
The day ends so soon
But I love through the night
With a bright light in the sky

Love, oh, love
A gift from above

I Love Doctor Who
I Watch the show and I read the books too
It makes me sad when he regenerates into another actor
But when the show is anew it’s always great

Doctor Who’s creatures are vast
From Timelords, to Sontarans, to Cybermen,
To Humans, to Angels, and Daleks are last
That’s just a few
But there’s a lot more too
When the show is anew.

I have talked
Without permission
In class or
At home

And which
You were probably
Mad or upset

Forgive me
I knew the answer
I just couldn’t
Keep it in

When I am feeling happy, tired or dreary,
I go to my favorite place, the library.

I walk in and take a good look.
Then I chose an interesting book.

Sometimes I put books on hold.
But I’ll receive a fine if it’s more than 10 days old.

When I read a book, my mind relaxes.
Unlike some people, I do not need glasses.

The library is a place for knowledge,
and for free.
That is the kind of place for me!

I have stolen
Your controller
That was in your room

And which you
Probably wanted
To play
Fortnite

Forgive me
The controller
Helped me
Win a
Game

As bright as a moonless night
The sky is burning with light
The stars so dull will guide the way so don’t you fright
The morning sun rises dimming and taking the light
