Joy and Sadness

If Joy were a color
It would be a vibrant golden yellow
As bright as a sunrise

If Joy were a taste
It would be like a perfectly ripe piece of apple
Never too bitter or too sweet

If Joy were a sound
It would be a uplifting song
With laughter sweet as a sunday church chorus

You can’t feel Joy without Sadness

If Sadness were a color
It would be a deep inky blue
As vast as a great ocean at dusk

If Sadness were a taste
It would be as dry as crumbling ash
And be as bitterly salty as falling tears

If Sadness were a sound
It would be as heartbreaking as a final goodbye to the ones you love
Facing the fact that you’ll never be able to see them again

The greater the painful regret and Sadness you experience in life
The greater the Joy you have left to gain

So open yourself and embrace both Joy and Sadness
Though the dark pain of Sadness may never seem to end
Know that without Sadness there is no Joy

Never forget that even though life has many twists
Just live it to the fullest with those you love and everything in between

Marley

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

The tree of my family

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

Aunt Teney

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 Poem)

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

An Ode To Doctor Who

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.

Allegiance to The Library

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!
