OUR WORLD

Artistic, beautiful,musical,

I look outside and see the world ,

in different shades, different lights,

some dark and some fire-bright.

Sometimes beautiful,

with colors filled in so perfectly by God,

in the flowers,birds and butterflies

leaving us to paint in thoughtfully,

our happiness, loves and sweet good-byes.

Artistic in the way,

trees filter sunlight,

saplings push their heads through sand,

adorning land with green necklaces and bands.

Music in every sound,

made by the little birds perched in their trees,

calling to each other,all blending in chorus-soft and loud.

In the splash of the frothy waves

racing across life-filled, blue seas. 

But sometimes, these beautiful colors,

are tinged ever so slightly,by shades of dark.

Still, our world is an amazing place,

even with these dark spots,

these black, tiny dots,

for it has so much more,

especially if its light and beauty we're looking for.

IN OUR HEARTS FOR EVERMORE

A girl straight from,

a beautiful fairytale,

She loved and soothed and was always there,

for whoever, without fail.

From all those who were asked,

for their fond memories,

"She laughed with me and always made me feel better,

whatever i cried for, with her it didn't matter."

Though not all of us have known her for long,

her name means more to us than just a sad song.

One who helped most of us get through hard times,

she had lit up our lives and still does does shine.
