Winter
The snow falling down on this December night
Endless amounts of snow nonstop
Shoveling, shoveling, shoveling
The sun shining through those fluffy clouds
Melting the snow like rain dripping down your window sill


The cold freezing your hands
Drinking hot chocolate and spilling it all over your pants
Burning your tongue and leg on that dripping hot cocoa.






Selfless
Sitting here all alone in my room

Thinking about if I am going to be here tomorrow
Never knowing if I am going to be able to see tomorrow
It scares me knowing that
Sitting alone thinking about these things
Really gets me nervous because I am young and I want to live
Live to about 90 so I can see were life takes me
I want life to be full of surprises

I like being surprised
I hope life takes me to where I want it to

Taking me to heaven when I have nothing left to give

With my aunt and uncle so I can be with them again
So I can be united one last time with them,
It would really be a surprise

To see them again.

Summer
Long summer nights








Having it be over was a bummer





Seeing the sights




Of the big yellow hummer,





My friends and I reunite



Even though we are getting dumber



Knowing everything will be alright






Not seeing summer




The fright of tonight






Give me the chills




Not knowing if the night will take flight.






Basketball







Dribbling down the court



Swerving passed the opposing team




Running, Running, Running




They can’t catch me





It all comes down to this play




I threw the ball to my teammate




The refs said I traveled



That was the worst thing I ever heard


We needed to win this game to get to the championship



This was the worst thing I could imagine





I ruined it for my teammates




I will never be able to look at them the same



They will never want to talk to me again






Frustrated



The next year I still tried out for basketball



Figured they would still not talk to me




They finally forgave me




It was the best day ever



Now I know why we are teammates.












Cancer




Cancer has taken a lot of people





It took both my aunt and uncle




It just hurts that people are passing







Cause of this horrible disease




I want them to find a cure




So people can live and be with their family





I just hope this disease won’t take any of my family




It just really hurts



Seeing the little girls that are only 4 years old


And they are struggling with this horrible disease







Why do you have to take the little ones?




Take me instead of the ones that are only four years old



It is just crazy how there that little



And they already have cancer



My mom was a survivor of breast cancer



Just knowing what she went through



Makes me so proud of her



She really is my role model


Now I know who to go to when I am having trouble.
