Summer flower beautiful and delightful
Under the sun glowing so happily
Nectar for bees and seeds for birds
Found growing wild in meadows or tamed in gardens
Life giving rays of the sun is what it desires
On a rainy day it nods it's pretty head
Wonderful bright rays of sunshine blooming
Everlasting and hopeful
Revered by God

Fate did not intend for me to have
A father that was more the normal kind.
The man my mother married first went to war.
He came back from it, but he had lost his mind.
Entirely changed was he! Although I – his eldest -
Revered him, my mother knew that it was best to leave.
So back to her home state she took her daughters.
Dad, you passed away not long ago, but I believe
At last you are yourself again. I know at Heaven’s Gate
You are with loved one (and with hugs for your four girls) you now wait!

It is delicious!
It is absolutely
Marvelous!
She really
Know how
Blend the
Perfect flavors.
In a sec ra large
Movie theatre bowl
She layered
A almond cake
At the bottom
And drizzled
A sweet almond syrup
Over the bottom and
Filled sided up half way
With brownies, she lefted
The center opened for the
Filling, which consisted of
Whipped cream, sugar, toasted
Hazelnuts, coconuts, vanilla
And some chopped heathbars.
She topped it with a layer of brownies.
Drizzling syrup on the brownies on
The wall top seal the top layer.
She freez the cake for 2 hours
And turned it up side down and
Peeled the plastic wrap off to
Expose the formed imperfect
Cake.she used a sweetened
Mergiune to make perfect the
Cake. She baked it for 15 minutes
And perfectly browned edges
Made for a kingworthy presentation.
She evered with raspberries and
Whipped cream. And served
Champenge.

During one year of my high school (I can’t remember which),
Everything was beautiful in one particular class.
Books were not required.
Only imagination and creativity were
Revered!
An outstanding teacher fresh out of college
Held me enraptured that one entire semester.
Rather than drone on with lectures, she inspired us to
Own our uniqueness!
Zestfully she approached
Each “teaching” moment with interesting lessons.
By having us sit in a circle really listening to one another, she
Opened up our minds, allowing us to voice
Our opinions and then express them through descriptive writing.
Much appreciation I have for the amazing teaching of Ms. Rozeboom.

Being sober makes me that I'm top of the world
Being on meth made me feel I was top of the world
Haven't you evered wanted that one poem
The poem you feel connected to, that no words can describe but only heart is speaking
The one poem when a lot of people are like, "Omg, your poem is so sensual" or like "Your poem is thoughtful I give it a 10."
IDK really what it means to have that one poem, just one
The one poem that puts your name on the market
The one poem that makes it a one hit wonder
The one poem that sparks then flames into fabulous
The one poem thats unspeakable, words that claim your heart or to claim your mind
The one poem to make a difference, a big difference
The one poem so powerful it makes you cry in happiness, makes you cry in sadness or cry in laughter
The one poem that says it all
What will you write today?

Severed tendrils of hope hang lifeless
As antiquated memories of lost dreams
Lie in a forbidden zone surrounded by silence.
Validation is hard fought for, and soon becomes
Another deception as I lie lost, misplaced, bleeding.
Trepidation slows the endless journey to victory as
I gaze into life’s mirror and search for elusive answers. But somehow,
Onward I continue, knowing deep within my soul that perseverance
Not only will lead to salvation, but allow me to find peace at last.

D edicated and determined, for 15 years or more.
E xtraordinary talent, that Baseball fans adore!
R evered by other athletes, for the example that he sets.
E ncourage our kids to be like him, and we'll have no regrets.
K eeping real high standards, is something he will yield.
J ust isn't any problem, both on and off the field!
E xcellence seems to be his goal, at least that is his game.
T hough he knows it's unattainable, he keeps trying just the same.
E xpect no less from this great guy, he's unique, and that's a fact.
R espect is automatic, cause he's a real "Class Act"!
Congrats to Derek
