Flowers

Flowers are used for lots of things,

Like letting people know it is spring!

For decorations,

Parties,

Or special occasions,

Flowers can be used in different locations.

When I see a flower, I smile,

And if I see another,

My smile lasts a while!

Yellow,

Pink,

Purple,

And blue

Are all colors of flowers,

And my favorite colors, too!

Friendship

Friendship is like a flower.

It blooms every day,

It prospers and grows

With a little love and care.

When you wake up in the morning,

Look outside to see the flowers smiling

Because you gave them attention,

Just like a good friend.

You can always count on your friends

To make you laugh

Or even when you need to cry.

A friend will send you flowers—

Just to see you smile.

What is Pain?

Pain is an awful feeling.

Pain is a heartbreak.

Pain is finding he doesn’t love you.

Pain is knowing you can’t have him.

Pain is loving him anyway.

Pain is emotional and physical.

This is what pain is.

Sister

She’s only eleven

Going on twenty

I’ve taught her a few lessons

She has taught me many.

She is very mature, beyond her years

With heart and soul of plenty

I look at her with envy and sneers

Then walk away feeling venty

She is full of love

With much to spare

She was sent from above

And doesn’t think to care.

She will be with me to the very end

Because, not only is she my sister,

But my very best friend.
