so sad

(i've got more!)

Winter



The sun sets in the sky
Then the sun said goodbye
Then the sky turns dark
The trees are all stark

Snow begins to fall
The snowflakes are very small
The world is covered in white
Even day seems like night

It's so cold outside
Inside the house I hide
How I wish summer was here
It seems so far and yet so near

I wait for summer to some
I wait for the warmth of the sun
So I can play and run
Wait just a minute I see the sun!

My Wishes

I wish I would be smart in school,
Because I want to become cool,
I wish i could be as pretty as a star,
But I know that will not go far,
I wish I had long silky hair,
Because my friend does and it's not fair,
I wish I had the most popular clothes,
I like two shirts but could never afford both,
I wish I had the coolest shoes,
But with this wish I know I'll lose,
Then one day I looked in the mirror,
In my eyes I saw some fear,
I was worrying too much about these things,
Things that only God could bring,
This is the best my life will get,
Wishing for things that are heaven sent

My Hero

When all the kids start teasing me,
You speak up and make me full of glee,
When I get embarassed in the school,
You help me through acting really cool,
When I was drowning in the pool,
You saved me with your body as your tool,
When I made a wish that was a must,
You helped make it come true with all your trust,
Since noone gave me a chance,
You asked me to go to the dance,
I wish you were with me on this day,
But you are not and I have nothing to say,
Except when I'm cold and it's below zero,
I feel your spirit hugging me because you are my hero
