We are not forever,
Nothing is forever.
But we are give time,
To spend, and to use,
on family and friends.

But what happens
When time is wasted,
What happens when time is up?
We crave more.
We ask, we beg, we plead.
But it doesn’t help.

Because we have always known,
We can’t turn back the clock,
We can’t reverse the minutes,
We can’t slow down the seconds.
Because we have always known,
Time never stops,
It keeps going always

It’s a outside court that’s very
clean. Everybody drives past it so
it will be seen. It’s always alot of
people outside. Whos always
ready to play a game of nine on
nine. Compared to the other
people on the court I’m really really
short. If you don’t want to play nine
on nine you can play horse. On
one half of the court the best
game to play on the court is twenty
one. Because grown men play
against their sons. The best thing
is its close. So that mean everyday
I can go. You can go with your
friends or go with your kin it’s a
good place to make new friends
and call them to play again this is
one of the best courts in muller it’s
better than being inside and
playing games with shooters

Family is a connection that never ends.
Makes memories through the years.
Spend time together.
Full of laughter and tears.

Family comes together.
For always and forecer.
Where love is shown.
And will forever be in one’s heart.

Family means everything.
Love, happiness, and kindness.
Family is forever.

Ode to my dogs
One is more annoying than
a screeching parent. The
other more lazy that a lazy
koala. They are crazy
wild when they meet new
people. They get more
jealous than anything
if ignore them,
They are the most
impatient dogs you will
ever meet. But they
are still the most loving
animals you will know.
They are very over protective
over their food and toys.
They are all bark and no
bite.

Imagine a world
Where this is no more snow to play
And heat advisories every day.

The politicians are still fighting,
But more people are dying.
The world heats up every second.

Ice around the world has melted
Cities and towns abandoned
For they are uninhabitable.

We blame
The old for not knowing,
Or more accurately,
Not doing.
The young will now grow up
In this world.

For our children and the next,
Please,
Take care of this place.

The viola, a wonderful thing, renowned for its jokes,
What you haven’t heard of it?
What a shame, it’s a four stringed instrument like the others,
But don’t be fooled because it’s quite different than a violin
It’s bigger in size and rich in ton,
But the biggest differences is our lowest string, the C string,
We have the low string like our older sibling the cello,
We can sound alluring to the ear with our beautiful sounds ranging from sweet melodies to gloomy harmonies

Don’t forget us because we’re still important, every instrument has a part,
Violins with the melody, violas with harmonies, bass plays the bass line and cello are all of the above,
Together when we work we create music,
When we practice together we improve our technique,
Even when we’re tired we still try our best,
So please try to remember us,
The violas the best!

water seeps through my brain
and clogs e v e r y thought
im drowning
nowhere to go or hide or take cover

saltwater in my veings
I cannot
move

i feel like i have been swimming
for hours but
my brain cannot communicate with my libs

where is the solid shore
i am trying to find my patch
of land

the harder i try
the quicker i fail

i hopes of land i swim faster
in hopes of land i am paralyzed

i begin to doze off
exhausted muscles loosen
brain relaxes
eyes closing

land appears
i am no longer
stranded

There is no drama
It’s all about having fun
Be yourself
Hit the ball hard
Work together as a team
Cheer each other on
You got to get dirty
Slide to every base
My pitches are faster than a
bullet
Run Super fast like a cheetah
Put on a fierce face, play mean
Stand on the pitcher mound,
Like you rule the game
Know that your team, gots your
back
On the field, it’s only about
softball
Be prepared for the ball
Be free enjoy
Don’t give up
Think about winning!!!

He’s black
Black as night
Always on time
With his bark like an alarm clock
Loving the sun
Like a warm blanket
But the coldness
Fills him up like water
his bark as strong as Zeus
A bark so strong it could shake
the earth
His fur so soft
Soft just like a cloud
The way he walks
Like he owns the street
Bark waking us up
But not on purpose
Ode to the Neighborhood dog
Always there to welcome you
with an open bark
