a page of poems i wrote when i was young

Happiness and Smiles

Happiness is the smiles of days,
The joy of life's little ways,
To see the joy of everyone,
Whether laughing or just having fun,
For what we all can see
In the weeks ahead
Is to our loved ones,
Through what is said
We know that once
It becomes for us
The smiles will last for many months.
So enjoy your days
Day in day out
Stand up tall.
Never Pout
For as you will see
In days to come
The happiness of all, with some smiles for some.

I Dream of a land far away,
where the skies are blue everyday
and the trees' green leaves
blow freely in the wind.
And the streets are a sparkling clean,
A place where everyone is kind.
the place where no one is mean
the place I love
My city, my dream
Respect is found everywhere
love is true, all seem to care
and we know it is
what people please.
and all the truth is in what is seen.
And the stars shine with brightness
just as few birds are flightless
as they twinkle of blue and silver
and they shine, shimmer, and gleam.
The rushing water against the rocks
as birds fly by in huge flocks
Peace is a shining great
as all can tell
love in the sky, love in the stream
So we can proudly say
we live here, each and everyday
and love is more then hate
in this world.....
isn't it great?
This is what I see in my dream
the land form above
The land of dreams and love

So what exactly is fun?
Is it playing games with more then one?
Or is it spending time with those you love?
Hanging out staring at the stars above?
Or sitting in front of a computer or TV?
But do you want to know what is fun to me?
Everything, all rolled into one.

The child looked up at her mother and asked
Why in life, there are such tasks
Of cleaning and cooking and of raising the children,
She wanted to know when she could have fun.

Her mother gazed down with her loving eyes
And told her of the sweet lullabies
That she sang every night her young
She told her that was how she had fun

The child questioning and confused
Looked up once again, "is that what you would choose?"
If you could have anything in this world,
What would it be?
"to have my sweet little girl"

She explained through the pain that she might have,
She told of the love and joy in life
She told that her wish was for all to stay the same,
"Its enough" she sighed, "having my children by my side."

What about chocolate? What about rides? What about partying all through the night?
When I was young, that's what was fun, now that I've grown, i know you see
That although it seems boring as all, my life is as fun as it could ever be
Grow up having your styles of fun, for when you become a mom, you will know....
That fun to me...Is seeing you grow.

So far you stand, can you feel my love?
It soars above like a white dove
and the knowledge of the life you live
is seen with how much you give,
the time for the people who care for you
have known this day so true
although it is not said often, it is known
even though it is hardly ever shown.
but in my own way, it has always been hard to say
something that I have trouble to say to you
are three simple words, I love you

As the dove flies across the sky,
I knew that I was right,
My love for you has grown,
As the days pass into nights,
You are always by my side,
And you are always here with me,
Through the years.
Forever more, this is it as you can see,
My life, with you stays
Already as it is
My love for you grows
With every single kiss,
And as we reach this year
Another one gone by
I know that it is not to leave
I have not to fear.
You love ofr me is great
Ever since that wonderful, First date
You have always made each year wonderful for me
To my love, have a happy anniversary
