Hershey Kisses

Grandpa, remember when you would give us Hershey kisses from your shirt pocket?
Then we would receive them like flying rockets? It was always funny yet yummy. 
You were persistently so gentle and kind
I can’t believe you were mine.
You were over six feet tall; every time I stood by you, you made me feel small.
I remember when you danced to NSYNC singing Bye, Bye, Bye.
I laughed so hard I almost cried.
You had a spectacular personality
Continually being spontaneous and happy
When me and Erin slept over you gave us Oreo cereal for breakfast
But in the morning it was your smile that fulfilled us
You were loving and brave
But now you rest peacefully at the grave.
I wish you were here to see us all grow up.
I know you would’ve been proud of us.
It has been ten years since you passed away
And I have missed you for 3650 days.
Let your family be together as one
And cherish the moments of fun.
I never got to say goodbye, so as I cry
This is what I have to say: “I love you grandpa forever and always.”

I Call You My Sister

I call you my sister, but you are more than that;
You are my other half.
You complete my heart just the way you are,
Except sometimes when you drive the car.
I say I’m weak, you say I’m strong;
I’d be nothing if you were gone.
You told me once, you told me twice to take a chance in life.
You are supportive and outgoing,
Creative and loving.
You are unpredictable and never have a banal mood.
It never crossed my mind that I would eat cat food.
You are ubiquitous in my life,
Just like Jesus Christ.
You are strong willed and independent,
Courageous and intelligent.
You gave me your trust
And I proved it when we survived through the purple mush.
You are not feo like my mayo;
Never living in the ghetto.
You are by my side constantly helping me understand the things I can’t quite 
comprehend.
Everything with us is competition, winning is your ambition.
It was smart of us to go to Mission Interact,
But we probably shouldn’t have kept that stray cat.
You always stand up for me;
Never backing down with uncertainty.
You continue to fight for what you believe in
Like the debate with fried chicken.
Every time we are together 
We always get in trouble one way or another.
You live life to the fullest
Sometimes it is like dodging bullets.
Although I will never forget the quote you live by:
“To be old and wise first you have to be young and stupid”

Dear God,The Almighty Lord

Guide me through school, Lord I surrender, you are my precious jewel.
Bring me to peace and let me fly free.
Give me wings like eagles and run and not be weary.
Let me walk and not be faint.
Have me not be scared but give me strength.
Be my light and conquer the dark parts of my life.
If asked to go one mile make me go two with a smile.
Have me live for you and walk in your shoes.
Show me a life to love and protect me from above.
Let me take chances and exceed the fences.
Break my fall, tear down these walls
that keep me from reaching my goals.
Smother your love in my soul.
I want to be worthy of you.
Show me a clear sky of blue.
Shine your light on earth and replenish life on this planet.
You alone have created a world covered in beautiful granite.
Everything very lovely and green.
Bright and healthy exploring nature from the unseen.
You have opened the eyes of the blind,
and relaxed the tension of the unkind.
The deaf can now hear so no need for fear.
Almighty Lord let me be a follower of you,
and when it is time, bring me to heaven too.
You are good, you are great.
you are the holy one who arose from the grave

Graduation

I know I haven’t talked to you much.
We both are busy the only time we have is lunch.
I plead to spend time just you and me.
Hanging with you makes me feel free.
Even though we’ve had our fights in the end we see the light.
You have been such a successful woman; I can’t believe you are human.
Remember those days me and Erin acted so cool?
Well to be honest we were just following you.
You made my nightmares go away.
Then I’d wake up at 5am feeling dreadful, but glad to see you every day.
You’ve been there for me through thick and thin; like a roller coaster we are in.
Then you graduated high school glowing you were beautiful too.
I actually shed a tear or two.
You have given me advice, and I have taken it more than twice.
Now you leave just Erin and me, but we think about you every day of the week.
You have artistic ability and creativity, while Erin and I have activity.
You never stopped believing in us once.
You always had confidence and trust.
We are all sisters 1, 2, 3… you, Erin, and me.
Look out world because here we come stylish and having fun.
Tears of pain, tears of joy
We are the Brunkala sisters no one can destroy!

I Am From

I’m from the little white house on the street and green leaved trees with branches 
to conquer, block parties and the young ones’ adventures.
I’m from capturing lizards and frogs to approaching my sister’s bags of frozen wasps 
located in the freezer. Playing Duck, Duck, Goose, Hide and Seek, and hooked on my 
Tamagotchi. 
I’m from few losses, but many gained. Grandpa’s Hershey kisses which terminated 
after one tragic Christmas; to family drama and broken Thanksgiving celebrations, 
and my puppy’s death from the black road where a vehicle had struck him. 
I’m from Barney and Tinky Winky, Rocketpower, and “Who lives in a pineapple under 
the sea?”
I’m from swings, slides, and the sandbox. Challenging how high I can swing and 
escaping the wasps hidden beneath the excitement. 
I’m from weak fences, exceeding the limits, snakes all around who were no match 
for my dog Buster Brown.
I’m from “Bye, Bye, Bye” NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Jesse McCartney performed 
by my entertaining sister and plays like Little Red Riding Hood directed by my 
grandmother.
I’m from making movies on those rainy days; laughs, smiles, and silly plays.
I’m from bunk beds, and the dark night where I had encountered my nightmares as 
I fall into a deep sleep; the most horrid visions that scarred my child imagination 
and nose bleeds that elicited the awakening of me in the silent house.

Son of Smiles

A small child too young to understand
Is not acknowledged of the past he once lived
The boy very timid, stuck in the sand
Could not release the joy inside his soul;
finally scuttled out of his cave.
He perceives the light, no more sorrow.
Living his life to the fullest, not wasting one second of tomorrow.
The cheerful adolescent growing taller every day,
not at all close to throwing his life away.
This youngster is full of personality and quite extraordinary.
A little hyper but he elicits a giggle in his peers
My brother, when you spread your wings I will be in tears
not sad, but rather content because my love for you is unbreakable. 
He is my brother and I will protect him as well as fight his fears.
Little boy bursting his contagious smile to all around
Joshua James Powell is the name to which I crown a magnificent, spontaneous, and 
inquisitive child.

Another Face

To some boys and girls I am no one.
I’m just there to fill empty space.
Each day is a long run
And I never seem to win the race.
I’m just another face.
My heart becomes weaker everyday;
Even when I do the right things
I change but not in a good way.
And to me everything is crumbling
I’m only trying to find my place.
I’m just another face.
Lord I don’t understand
I am seriously lost.
Please give me a hand.
Lead me to the cross.
Help me overcome the obstacles I cannot erase.
I’m just another face.
I always put myself down
And now I’ve stopped having hope
Continuing to feel unfound.
I have this pain and it is like a rope,
Pulling away what I attempt to embrace.
I’m just another face.
Why can’t I see joy?
Why do I feel trapped?
My life I cannot destroy
Happiness is what I need to adapt
I can’t always hide.
For this behavior mustn’t continue this way
I struggle to find my stride
And this is what I pray.
Fulfilled life is the case.
I’m just another face.

Perfect Beach Day

I walk upon the earth with an open mind,
Pushing the sand onto my toes, the sun warming my soul, my journey unwinds.
Chains undone, walls broken down, burdens ease from the past,
Peace and serenity at last.
The wind weaving through my hair; observing the birds by the sea;
Taking in the fresh air God gives me.
My negative energy is long gone away, when I whispered to myself: “This is the perfect beach day”.
