Empty Past
Empty Past
You’re not here to reminisce,
my old time.
You’re not in my brain anymore.
My scar has disappeared.
Day by day, empty past,
you have to run away.
I don’t want you to get me.
I don’t want you to surpass me
because you already got my
smile and my happiness.
I told you, empty past, you
can’t control my life.
I’m so strong and rational.
I know nobody can change
the past, but I change mine
in my own way.
Remember, empty past,
you are empty.
Life
Life
Sometimes I see many different
colors
When I said that because I
see good and bad moment in
true life
Sometimes I am happy and sad
I can see life is pink, yellow, red
and black
Life sometimes is fair or unfair
Life is like a river everything
just go by the water
Life is like a car it's drive
you the way you want to go
Life is like a dance from different
culture
Life is like a cook you
can make taste the way
you want
Life is happiness, sadness, and
joy
That's life
My Mother
My Mother
My mother”s love is something no one can explain
Mom made a deep sacrifice to make us happy every day. When we got sick, it was a big pain for her to see us suffer. I reminisce when we were at school and she got up by 4 am in the morning to prepare breakfast for us to go to school. She is always there for us.
Mom, I reminisce every step you did for us. She is caring, kind, loving, beautiful, and special. Even the world condemned you, but your mom still loved you whatever you did.
Mom, you are my first country, where I lived before I was born in the new world.
Mom, I can't imagine myself without you.
Mom, since I left Haiti, I haven't seen you for 6 years already. My heart got down day by day.
Mom, I will come to see you very soon and I will honor you .
Mom, we just want to say thank you for everything you did for us.
We love you.
Having A Family
Having A Family
Having a family is a beautiful gift you can have to make you happy everyday. My family comprises two children, one boy is older and one girl is second, and my husband and me. They are so lovely, beautiful, caring. I am always happy when they are kissing me and saying “I love you, mom.” As parents, at first it is not easy parenting. Day by day, we get mature enough to raise the kids.
My family means a lot in my life. Even if your family is big or small, as long as you have one, it is good. As family, I use some of the older instructions my parents gave to me before to raise my own family. My husband and I are responsible for creating a safe and secure environment for the kids. We make the kids very confident to share everything they want to talk about.
Sometimes I am very tired, but it is my job to take care of my family. Every day I have to get up by 6 a.m. in the morning to prepare my kids to go to school. I have to make breakfast, drive my son to school, then come home to online school for me too. After doing online classes, I have to cook dinner, clean, go to market, and later pick up my son at school.
Before I leave home I have to help my son with his homework. Even though I don't speak English very well or even if I don’t know some words, we always find out what the word means to help him. I try to be present in my kids' education. After the long busy day, I have to go to work by 3 p.m. I am confident being present in the family life is the best thing you can do to save your kids and get a good relationship.
A Family Is A Circle
A Family Is A Circle
is always there when you are

life,
is a colorful thing to be happy,
is like a body because all
parts are connected,
is a special gift,
is a connection that never ends.
Chicken Friend
Chicken Friend
A long time ago my parents bought a chicken for the new year holiday. At this time we were kids and we were really happy for our new friend, the chicken my mom bought . We couldn't even imagine he was for cooking. In my country, new year means a lot for Haitian people. This holiday reminds us of the day we were free from slavery. Haitian people celebrate January first and second with joy and happiness . We make soup with squash, and we make a big dinner to remember the day we were all free.
My siblings and I took time to play with the new friend. We were training him like a dog. He was a very intelligent chicken; he followed directions very well. He was big rooster and handsome too. Even at school we talked about the new friend we had at home. Our friends laughed at us because they said we were crazy. They said, "Your parents didn't buy the chicken for play or to be your friend, it is just for eating." We were very mad because we didn't pay attention. Why would or parents buy a chicken to stay home over five months just for cooking for holiday?
When we got home, we were very sad and we asked my mom what she was going to do with the chicken. She said to us, "Well, you know the holiday is coming soon. He is for dinner." We started crying, and we said no -- we didn’t want to eat my friend’. Then at this time my parents realized it was a big mistake to buy a chicken to stay home for so many months. By the way my mom didn’t cook it, and he stayed with us for three years. After that he got sick and he died.
My Loving Haiti
My Loving Haiti
Haiti
my beautiful country
with mountains
flowers and rivers.
I remember when
I woke up.
I heard every morning
the rooster singing
with a beautiful
voice.
I smelled a coffee
in the neighborhood.
I miss
my family.
I reminisce every
January first.
I always organized
a big dinner.
I invited all
my friends
and family.
I miss my job too
because I was
working with people
who needed healthcare.
Those people were welcoming.
No matter what happened
in my life,
my country
I still love you.
I miss you, Haiti.
Ode to My Old Zodiac Shoes
Ode to My Old Zodiac Shoes
When I was
a child
my mom
gave me
a pair of shoes.
I was happy.
On the first day
of my shoes
I slept with
my shoes.
Oh, my beautiful!
Pair of shoes,
you fit me well.
My zodiac shoes
had metal
at the front
and the back.
When I wore you
I felt like a queen.
Every second
I looked at my feet
I saw a shine of
diamond.
In my school
the kids said
I like your
shoes.
I felt lovely
and special.
Oh my pair
of shoes!
I never
forget you.
