April 4th - I Miss You: A Ballad

Just me and you alone once more

Our split has made my heart so sore

I don't know when we'll meet again

But this is our last for a while, I'm sure


But still we act as though

There hasn't been sun and rain and snow

Since we had last been seen

Hitting each other with pillows


It hasn't been that long

So that's why I'm making this song

Has it? It has all been a haze

This past year without you has been all wrong!


Without my friend any longer, you

I don't know what I could do

I don't know how I could stand it

For so long, but now the day is new


So we can make a chapter two

So I can do it over again with you

This year would have been so much different

If only I had been there beside you


But I know and have known

You don't even have a phone

I still don't know why

But I've been all alone


And I know you have other friends, too

Better friends now, though I hate for it to be true

I just want my birthday wish to come true

Because I really miss you


April 3rd - Waiting

Waiting

Waiting

Waiting

Still I wait


Watching

Watching

Watching

The clock tick


Looking

Looking

Looking

Where are you


Sitting

Sitting

Sitting

On the couch


Worrying

Worrying

Worrying

Are you well


Waiting

Waiting

Waiting

There you are

March 29th - The Ninja Warrior in Black

Fur like the night

prowling the forest

a warrior

and it's home base


is my

house

a ninja by night

a sleeper at day


and a warrior

by afternoon

trading food

with my dad


a piece of

beef jerky

for a piece

of a dead mouse


good deals

are her

middle name

except I didn't name her


protecting me

from the evils

in the

forest


and she still

is today

fighting

forever


protecting

loving

sharing

March 27th - Limericks (More on my Slice of Life Page)

Licorice

Lick a fish

Drink a meal

Steal a seal

In a dish


If I were to sail

I would deliver mail

All across the lands

With my gentle hands

Through snow or hail


If I were a limerick

Peter Piper would so pick

ME! YEs me, to read

Well, obviously it's a NEED

I'm just like in soccer, a kick


I am not a cow

I still say "WHAPOW!"

I can not moo

Like real cows do

Maybe you'll realize this now

look in the

forest

see the

colors


the yellow,

the blues,

the reds,

the colors


look in the

forest

see the

possibilities


the jobs,

the dreams,

the ideas,

the possibilities


look in the

forest

see the

creativity


the stories,

the poetry,

the art,

the creativity


look in the

forest

see the

people


the humor,

the kindness,

the passion,

the people


look in the

forest

see the

nature


the trees,

the sky,

the grass,

the nature


look in the

forest

see the

happiness


the smiles,

the laughter,

the love,

the happiness


look in the

forest

see the

world


and everything

it has

to

offer
