Don't say the wrong things
Don't hurt others feelings
Just bite your tongue and
Keep your lips sealed
Don't swear
Don't be insulting
Don't use foul language
Just bite your tongue and
Keep your lips sealed
For its better to not get into an argument
Over a silly little thing that you'll regret later
Emily Krauss
You were sent down below
To this earth from heaven
You brought me smiles,
Happiness and memories
To keep forever and ever
But then you were taken
From this earth
And now I am left
With only the memories
We had together
And pictures of you
Yes you're an angel
Who was sent from heaven
Down to this earth
To spread your happiness
All around
Emily Krauss
Snow
Cold and white
Like clouds in a sky
Lots of it on the ground
Surrounding me
As I go
For my morning walk
I see an Amish man go by
On his snow plow
Pulled by horses
With a dog following
On the ground
And soon a path
Is being made
So that people
Can get to and from town
In the Amish community
Emily Krauss
I've got family
I've got friends
But I feel as if I'm all alone
I feel as if no one really understands me
I feel as if no one really knows who I am
I feel as if no one knows what actually goes on in my head
And neither do I
I'm all alone
On this vast and lonely planet called earth
I don't know what life has in store for me on this lonely planet
I don't know where I'm going or where I'll end up
All I know is that I'm alone
I'm all alone on this vast and lonely planet
Emily Krauss
Cleaning the house
Washing dishes
Cooking dinner
It's all in a day's work
Ironing
Baking
Household chores
It's all in a days work
Outdoor work
Working
Driving
Running errands
It's all in a day's work
Which like, Groundhog Day, occurs, day after day.

Music speaks to me
like words never can
Music brings on
happiness
sadness
anger
fear
joy
excitement
music has a way of making me feel loved
music is an art
music is an expression
music is creative
music you are my love song
Emily Krauss
It shines brightly
High up in the sky,
Just like a burning ball of fire
Ready to light the way
For the weary,
The poor,
The hungry
And all other people too
Sunlight shines down
Upon the calm murky blue water
And is shown as a reflection
That looks so calming and peaceful,
Especially to me
Sunlight, sunlight is like a mighty god
That brings happiness and cheerfulness onto people
For people can spend glorious days outside
Getting fresh air to their hearts content
Sunlight, sunlight I love you
For you are a warmth
That gives me inner peace and relaxation
Whenever, you are around.

You can get your hands on

Yellowish books

A place to meditate
A place to be alone
With your thoughts and feelings
A place to relax
A place to stop
And smell the roses
I've stepped into a Japanese Garden
And surrounded myself with new cultural experiences
To treasure and cherish
Forever
A calm place
Where you feel
As if you are
In another world,
Another dimension
And another land
I've stepped into a Japanese Garden
And surrounded myself with new cultural experiences
To treasure and cherish
Forever, and ever and ever
Emily Krauss
At night
When I am asleep
I dream so many things
That are inspiring
I dream of poverty ending
I dream of everyone finding work
I dream of becoming an accomplished writer
These are just a few of my inspiring dreams
I dream during storms
I dream during the day
I dream in gardens
I dream daily and nightly
Dreams are like stars
They appear and disappear
Each and every day
And everyone rich and poor
Famous and not famous
Have their own dreams
That they want to achieve
So go after your dreams
And let them inspire you
Emily Krauss
