Amanda Beckwith's Poem:
Lasting memeries,
or a love long gone,
all rush back,as i sit and stare,at the wilting roses,
long deipreived of water,
as my hear,
deprieved of love .
My heart,like the roses
thrive to be caressed,
as they were,long long ago,
Butmy heart,unlike the roses,
will survive,
will live to see another day
and my heart will mend and be
whole again

I am a girl
So don't you dare
Girl Bash me
You see i will boy-bash you
Till you don't know what to do!!!
Dear Flea

don't get on that plane at half past 3
I heard a girl
talk bout towers you see
It wouldn't be right for you to go now
The towers will fall
when plane hits the wall
So Please please listen to me
STAY AWAY FROM FLIGHT 93

I miss you so much my dear daddy,
There still so much I have to show.
The day you had left me
I wanted to run away.
I knew that is not what you wanted
so I went to sit on the bay.
I think of you everday
and how little time we had
the day the you had passed away
I knew you wern't comming back.
I love my dear daddy
I will miss you till the day
when it is my turn to go to heaven
I will soon be on my way.
Pease wait for me till I get there
you'll be the one I want to see
Rember my dear daddy that I love you
I know that you love me!
*To my father that died from cancer*

Matt Briggs's Poem:
The Boy at the window
Seeing the snow man standing all alone,
in dusk and cold is more than he can bear.
The small boy weeps to hear the wind prepare,
a night of gnashings and enormous moan.
His tearful sight can hardly reach to where,
the pale-faced figure with bitumen eyes,
returns him such a god-forsaken stare.
As outcast adam gave to paradise.
The man of snow is, nonetheless, content,
having no wish to go inside and die.
Still,he is moved to see the youngster cry,
though frozen water is his element.
he melts enough to drop from one soft eye,
a trickle of the purest rain, a tear.
For the boy at the bright pane surrounded by,
such warmth, such light, such love and so much fear.

Dream
Dreams to me are just halustions
Something everyone, no matter how different you are, have in common through out the nations.
Dreams can be filled with torturment and evil,
Or angelic love that words can't describe, just beautiful.
Dreams are just places I like to escape to.
Rather I'm feeling happy of sometimes when I'm blue.
Dreams are where I go to help myself.
It's a place where it is safe to stop thinking about myself and help some body else.
Dreams are a safe place where you can show your true face and you don't have to live a lie asking
yourself why as you begin to cry.So go to sleep, and for those few hours you can be powerful, beautiful, and rich. You can be free.

A dog and a hog went to the moon
A dog and a hog went to the moon
On a cold night in a balloon
The trip was long and hard
There was no food
O how the hog cried
When he realized
They found rocks and socks
And pots and cots!
And locks and even a fox!
They couldn’t take it home
Cuz’ there was no space
While they were on the moon
There was a strong monsoon
It blew them both away
Through space they went
Until they found the ship
And they were happy again.
When they go back home they told all their friends
Of the socks, locks and even the fox
Of course they didn’t believe them
“You’re lying”, they would say
So the dog and the hog took them to space the next day.
They saw spoons and moons
Cots and pots
Then, they all believed
And went into space again the next week!

Why couldn't you wait for me?
I'm to young for us to be apart.
When will I see you again.
Why have you left me?
Where did you go
a phone number
a address?
Grandpa why didn't you tell me goodbye
Did I do something wrong?
Please tell me you love me one more time
Why have you left me?
What ever the reason maybe
I still love you with all my heart

Remember to Forget
Forget the one that youonce knew
Remember now he has someone new
Foegt those times that you shared
And the fact that he cared.
Forget all the times you were together
Remember, those moments are gone forever.
Forget him when they play your song.
Rememeber how you cried for so long.
Forget how close you two once were,
Rememeber how he chose her.
Forget the times he would phone
Remember the times he left you alone.
Forget that he was your dream come true,
Remember how she loves him to.
Forget the times that he stopped by
Remember how he made you cry.
Forget the way he said your name
Remember now things are not the same.
Forget the way he held your hand
Do not Remember the sweet things if you can.
Forget the way he looked into your eyes
Remember the words he said were simply lies.
Forget the way you felt in his arms,
Remember how he caused you such harm.
Forget the times you called him mine
Remember the memories were forced to be
left behind.
Forget the way he said, " I'll Leave You Never!"
Remember now, he's gone forever.

Your Bird.
One day you shall find a bird, A bird that is small and growing, and as you get older it just gets bigger until it learns to fly. fly away and make you smile like you never would again.Like you are right now, because you have that bird with you, yes you do, just look deep inside of your self. I promises you if you are ready, you will find that bird waiting for there love and care. The bird that you will grow up with, and as you get older, it gets bigger and flyes away. Follow that bird where ever you go. Listen to it with all your heart. Do this and belive, because that bird is you. If it is not loved or cared for it dies. But if it is loved and cared for it will live. It will get older and fly away with its love. It will grow older and die, not alone, but together. If you use this bird, you will love till the lord calls you. You will be happy because that bird of yours told you what is right and what was wrong. It led you in the right directoin, not the wrong way. It led you to your love. It went old with you. But if you don't find this bird soon enough then it will die and you will be alone for your en-tire life. No one to guide you though your life and tell you what is right and what was wrong. Don;t miss the bird. If you do find it, like many others have, don't loose it. This bird will never leave you. But you can live it. you can ignore it and go the wrong way. Die sooner because you went the wrong way. And if you listen to that bird, you will go to heaven and live forever. Other wise you know where you will go. In the wrong derection. So listen to that bird. It is God.

Tears of Joy today. Tears of sadness tomorrow. Happiness will blow away with wih big, sad gusts of sorrow. Life may seem to die out, and leave. That is what you may believe. When you think hard, your heart, and head that little spark of life appears. Sun-rays of happiness blow sorrow away, shouts of joy scare sadness away. We may be alone, or togehter today. Although happy or sad, Gentile or Jew, black or white, Hispanic, or Asian, Male, or female, friendly, or cruel. We all know just one golden rule. A simple rule that brings us together... Will and Bob, or Cindy and Heather. That simple thing grown, or young should know... we all live on Earth. That's where we all grow. With your head in the clouds, or your feet on the ground. A small sparkle of joy is what us all have found.

The American Spirit
The American Spirit is a vast Golden heart.
It is the way an American is one of a part.
Its determination is a vast wonderland.
They join together in times of need
in the holy way to show their support in a band.
No country or terrorist group can stop us
from shining our Golden light,
given to us from our Almighty Lord, our God.
As it is said, "In God We Trust."
We come together in times of need
of the American Spirit.
As in the Movie "Pearl Harbor"
an attack like that will wake up "A Sleeping Giant",
where God leads us down the Path of Victory and Good."

Beaguiles my heart, I know not why,

But change she earth, or change she sky,

I WILL REMEMBER WHERE AND WHO FLEW IT.
IT WAS FLOWN IN BATTLE AND AT GRAVES.
AND, I WILL PROUDLY FLY MY FLAG TODAY.
IT'S BEEN FLOWN THROUGH THE YEARS
BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED IN BATTLE
AND PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR OUR LIBERTY.
I WILL PROUDLY SAY TO ANYONE,
"I AM AN AMERICAN AND I'M PROUD TO BE ONE."
LET US FLY OUR FLAG AND REMEMBER
WHAT AND WHO IT STANDS FOR.
OUR FLAG STILL FLIES TODAY,
MORE PROUDLY THAN EVER.
HONOR OUR FLAG AND YOU ARE HONORING
WHAT THIS COUNTRY STANDS FOR.
IF YOU DISGRACE OUR FLAG,
YOU DISGRACE OUR COUNTRY. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
I WILL PROUDLY FLY OUR FLAG, TODAY,
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. EVEN AS WE GO TO WAR,
OUR FLAG WILL STAND.

With his sad brown eyes,

Now, away up in the skies.

That we want him to come home.
Say, we both lub and miss him
And that he's been gone too wong.
He said, "Momma, I'm awreddy six,
And next month I'll be seben.
Please call all the angels now,
Dad must come home from heaben.

To help me celebrake.
So, tell the angels to talk to him.

To Santa,
I'll wake up as early as can be.
Please Santa bring some presents to me.
I've enclosed a map of Mini Town.
To get to our house, you won't need a frown.
Follow the arrows around the house.
But, be as quiet as a mouse.
You need to go straight up the stairs.
But beware. They are as thin as hairs.
When you get to the top of the landing,
Look for the door my Dad's been sanding.
That's my room. It's very large.
To open the door you don't need to barge.
Mind the boards. They just might squeak.
Be very careful. The floor is weak.
My stocking is on the back of the door.
The bigger things can go on the floor.
I mustn't peep. For, I know you won't stay.
You'll go and take my presents away.
So, I hope my route is not too long.
And, I won't forget your famous song.

Paul Jones's Poem:
A Child's Christmas
------------------
Christmas is coming
it's time to be jolly,
Bring out the baubles
and put up the holly.
It's a time to be merry
so don't shed a tear,
Soon Santa will come,
as he does every year.
To all tiny children
all over the earth,
Remember the day
it's Jesus' birth.

The American Spirit
The American Spirit is a vast Golden heart.
It is the way an American is one of a part.
Its determination is a vast wonderland.
They join together in times of need
in the holy way to show their support in a band.
No country or terrorist group can stop us
from shining our Golden light,
given to us from our Almighty Lord, our God.
As it is said, "In God We Trust."
We come together in times of need
of the American Spirit.
As in the Movie "Pearl Harbor"
an attack like that will wake up "A Sleeping Giant",
where God leads us down the Path of Victory and Good."
We all love America, Almighty!!!

Joshua Collins's Poem:
Be Careful What You Get
Life is like a balance of what you get
and what you don't ~
what you receive and what you give.
What I ask for is simply not much.
I ask for a good life, a good day, a good friend ...
or just something that pleases me ~
maybe a toy to use or a person to be with.
I don't ask for very much.
If you want everything in the world,
that's too bad - just don't be selfish.
Not everything you want may be good for you.
Actually, you might want something else, for instance.
I asked for things I wanted but I didn't like it, the next thing I know.
So be careful what you get because it might not suit you.

Mark Andrew Collins's Poem:
Dead End
Down the pasture, then up the road -
Trying to determine which way to go.
A road to the left, a road to the right,
It's hard to see in the mist of the night.
Walking down the long empty road;
One gets weak, carrying the load.
Coming to a stop, the road's a dead end.
It's time to turn around and try again.
