The sweetest voice I ever heard
Belongs to you, pretty Bluebird
Someday will you sing for me?
My name sung to a melody
That you make up, one all your own
That's just for me and me alone
Vanilla rose would be its scent
The Kiss its art equivalent
If you do, through happy tears
I'll love you for a thousand years
And yours I'll be until the day
My final breath takes me away
“Y” is number twenty five in the alphabet
Open armed between “X” and “Z”
Two very unpopular letters
It has to be said !
“Y” is a happy, versatile letter
Welcoming all with open arms
Yet “X” and “Z” dislike “Y”
Jealous of “Y’s” charismatic charms
“Why oh why”, sighs “Y”
Am l stuck between these two?
I cannot move within the alphabet
So ,there is nothing l can do ….
“X” and “Z” don’t venture far
Rarely do they roam
They just hang out in the alphabet
“The Bet” is what they call their home!
“Y” has strength of character
A letter of great flexibility
Arms wide open to all including “X” and “Z”
Though to “Y’s” closest mates “Y” is known as “E”
(E being the E sound …happ-y)
Backwards forwards upside down
Driving in reverse back through town
Yahoo.com said moo -- landed in Honolu
This poem is insane and so are Yu
Darvish and awl of you hoo(!) still think
The Chicago Cubs have a (phat!) chance
To win it all egg-N with that letter
"C" on their pin ~ striped pants
Cuz miracles Kant Happ en more than
Every century oar sew. The Cubs of had theirs
And that's awl eye no about baseball, faceball, and
Spaceball, if that's really a game. Well, me mum said it is
And that ends this horr-if(?)-ick

so i kept it
9 months in me
we connected
everyday i had to make sure i was happ so it wouldnt be affected
sleepless nights feeling sick and it was because of it
sometimes id regret changing my mind on having it aborted
and everytime i did
it would kick
slowly joy would run deep in my heart
even though i didnt want it
it chose me to be its mom
an ammature
unemployed,confused,young girl
with no direction.
i kept it
i have nothing visible to give to it
just my love
which is not pure enough
for a gift like it.
i kept it
but i lost me
i became such a mess that the only thing that rang in my head was death
i sat down and depression sat next to me
my last thought was
"im going to keep it,give birth to it but im not going to stay with it"
i was unfit to mother it
and so after holding it
i kissed it
hugged it
and i left it
my son ...
i left you
in the arms of my mom
who's going to love you
i thought i was going to better for you as an angel and so i went to heaven and left you.
Blow up them firecrackers.
Light up the sky.
Because it's Happy Independence Day.
I've been meaning to say..
Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happ..
Happy Independence Day, Happy Independence Day.
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.
Sparklers glowing.Stars and stripes showing.
Nothing but happy people.Celebrating the Fourth Of July.
The birth of our country.The birth of our flag.
Because our founding fathers.Always wanted it this way.
Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happ..
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.
Fifty stars and thirteen stripes.
The flag still flies.The American way.
Old Glory's the name.Old Glory's the same.
Join with the crowd, for the American dream.
So blow up them firecrackers.
Light up the sky.
Because it's Happy Independence Day.
I've been meaning to say.
Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happ..
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.

When you let someone go
That you love
Do you feel like
It's the biggest mistake ever
Or are you happ that he or she is gone
Do you regert the fight you had with him or her
Do you wanna take back everything you said to him or her
Or are you happy without him or her
Do you sit there and stir at the phone and hope it rings
Do you look at photos of him or her you guys took together
If you really love him or her
Then take that leap
And see if they feel the same way
Like you do
how do you think i feel?
when i see you there...
with her and not with me?
do you care?
eveyone says you do
but do you treat someone
that you are supposed to care about,
like you treat me?
do you care about her?
does she make you happ?
like...i...used to?
how do you think i feel when
i know i cant make you happy
like i used to, like she apparently can
how do you think i feel...
knowing im replaced...
knowing im not loved....
how do you think i feel!?
I got a gig at Macy's,
In the gift wrap department,
I wann'ed to be the star...
of this lowly store compartment,...
But outside this meager job,
I dreamed those dreams so big,
So in my apartment,
I'd hone my wrapping skills,
Prayin' wrap stardom would cure my ills...
Yo, bro, you'all hear me now?
I "axe'd" you to believe in me,
Now I'll show you just how,
I'll become "King a da Hood"
Even though some tell me how,
my wrap skills ain't all dat good
So here goes my openin' wrap
Doe'en tell me dat iz crap,
Yo, bro, wuz happ-n-ing
here an' now?
Cops chasin' everyone around
Can ya tell me Y? or even, maybe how?
Da' bee-ott-chutch dun left home,
Da' "bee-itch" said she wanna rome,
"Crack'in in some bore'd up buildin'
Stem pipe glowin' high flyin' red,
Soon enough, she be dead...
Don' bother me all that much,
Cause I got anodda' ho,
I'z kept 4 bee-in in such a clutch.
HAPPY-EVER-AFTER
Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life.
The pen is in your hand, waiting for you to write the very best book you can.
Have pages on understanding and tales of overcoming hardship.
Fill your story with romance, adventure, learning and laughter.
Make each chapter reflect time will spent.
Meet your obligations, but take time to greet your aspirations.
If you live up to your potential, you'll never have to live down any disappointment.
Remember: goodness will be rewarded.
Smiles will pay you back.
Have fun. Find strength. Be truthful. Have faith. Don't focus on the things you
lack.
Realize that people are the treasures in life, and happiness is the real wealth.
Have a story about doing your best each day and . . . the rest will take care of
itself.
