Shanon Jacobs Poem
Candy floss and carousels
Bumper cars and clowns on stilts
The evening sparkles with stars bright
You and me, the perfect couple a perfect sight
You hold my hand as we walk between stalls
You win me a big teddy bear by throwing balls
You scoop me up and spin me around
Just like that your love takes me off the ground
You put me down gently and kiss me on my head
I can hear the kiss come with “I love you” but nothing was said
You take a moment and just stare down at me
If only you knew my future in your eyes I see
On the Ferris wheel we hold hands and kiss
That’s the moment we both make a wish
The music plays in the background
We‘re in dreamland listening to the sound
You take my hand and place it on your heart
You look at me and say, we will never ever part

Shanon Jacobs Poem
Is life fair?
It seems like no-one cares
How far would you go?
For the things you love so?
We had love for each other
I became a mother
We said till death do us part
Did I misunderstand, am I not smart?
You said she was nothing to you
But when she enters the room, we became two
What went wrong?
Wasn’t our love strong?
I blame her for everything, especially the sorrow
Because of her there is no tomorrow
God must forgive me for what I’m gonna do
But if I cannot have you, she will never have you too

Shanon Jacobs Poem
I have to tell a story
About a girl who had no glory
Out Spoken,
Yet so broken
Being rude,
Always in a mood
Never had luck with guys
They will take one look at her and realize,
That they want her friend in the dazzling disguise
She felt very unattractive
Yet wanted to be active
Always taking a back seat
Never felt strong enough to take the lead
On a low,
Wanting no-one to know
The true beauty inside, who wants to burst out and show
She started to analyse and delve
Within herself
Believed that there was something within her,
She just needed to stir
She became beautiful and bold
She discovered gold
Humble and kind
With an open and wise mind
She realized the fight was never external
It was always internal
She is now happy and content with her beautiful soul
She has reached her goal
Her inner beauty is what makes her glow
Yes from insecure to bold she did grow
The way she sway her hips when she walks
The kind words she says when she talks
Her heart filled with love, compassion and integrity
This is her serendipity
