Still Flying

The day I chose you
Compared to all the others
I saw the uniqueness of your colors
Looking back when you flew away
Broke my heart in pieces and stole all peace in living
When you were found my heart raced fast
I was beyond grateful that you came back
We moved forward and life was good
Until one day when you seemed strange
I saw you bleeding out in pain
Then news struck that you were sick
and surgery would bring an unknown risk
The vet said there was a slim chance 
Like the usual medical script
Uncertain and scared I couldn't bare
To hear the panting from your chest
All from too big an egg 
You couldn’t lay in your nest
Your appetite was lost and I was at a loss
I cupped you in my hands
Warm and unharmed
You were like snow melting away
Drifting from my heart
A change of season
There was a reason
For this lesson to be learned
You held on for the holidays to make our last memories
When the day of your dying came
It sure left me crying
But I know that you are...still flying

Yellow Things

Sometimes I feel sorrowful 
Unless I see a certain color 
which we call yellow
Driving on the school bus at a fast speed
Until the yellow lights appear 
To keep the students steady 
The sun is an orange and yellow shade 
My canary's name is Willow 
Longfellow's pages were yellow 
Even the jello my cousin Stelio made 
Was a transparent yellow
What rhymes with yellow is Shakespeare's Othello 
The corn maze I went to was yellow
The sunflower in my yard is a bright sunny
Yellow I can see it from my window pane with no trouble
Yellow brings me joy even when life gets tough
Yellow gets me through a rough day when I've had enough

Forever Lasting Love

Looking back when I saw you
We locked eyes and it was a staring contest from then on 
We were meant to be
Been on cloud nine since our first date 
The lovely friendship we have is above any rate 
Now years down the road 
The many memories that we have made
I hope to create more with you in the moments to come 
You have helped me become who I am today 
Just wanted to say happy anniversary 
To my one and only love

Sticking Sisters

We stick together like glue on paper
Late night secrets
And pillow fights
I steal your clothes 
You wear my shoes 
We argue about little things
But our laughing is nonstop 
Holding hands on our adventures that never end
Splashing in the puddles wearing matching rainboots 
Sitting on rocks and talking a lot
Nobody could ever replace you 
Because your my sister
And I love you a whole lot
