My Shepherd

Without God I would be lost.
I will follow His word-No matter what the cost.
He has brought a light into my life that wasn't there before,
And I shall love Him forever more.
He is my Savior, my Guardian, my King,
Without Him I would be nothing.
He rejuvenates my soul,
And He is what makes me whole.
He has rescued me from sin
And when I stand at the Gates of Heaven,
He is my ticket in.
I tell Him all my troubles and my sorrows,
Praying for a better tomorrow.
When I think of Him, all my worries die,
For I know He is watching from above, up high.
I seek Him for comfort and peace,
Knowing that His love will never cease.

Thoughts of You

I always think of you
Wherever I go.
However I miss you,
You will never know.
You make me so happy,
You always make me smile,
The feeling that I have inside
Must radiate a mile.
I long for your thoughtfulness,
Your kindness and your caring,
With you, it's my love,
That I don't mind sharing.
I wish we could be together,
but distance keeps us apart.
So, whenever you are sad and lonely,
Remember that I keep you close to my heart.
I wait to give you my love
each and every day,
Thinking and loving you,
In every single way!

Refuge

Tears flow down my face,
As I wish
I was some other
place.
Anywhere but here-
Any time,
Another year.
To be deep in thought
Is my only refuge-
In this vast world,
So huge.
Bound within
my room-
More confined than being in
My mother's womb.
Affection is all
I seek-
But to receive that
the chances are bleak.
Depression overwhelms me
As it takes over
my entire body.

Boredom

A feeling that cannot be expressed,
But experienced instead-
An emotion that spreads from
Your toes to your head.
A state of neither sanity
Or tiredness-
Yet you feel as if you could
Nod off any second,
None the less
Boredom has yet to be
Explained-
Though it cannot be contained,
Nor sustained-,
It is easy to attain.
And if I remain
In this domain,
I will start to
Go insane!

Home Run

The Baseball player,
steps up to the plate at which his whole
life revolved,
His fears and most of his triumphs
have happened here,
Crossing the river of humiliation and anxiety,
Trying to comprehend the diverse disappointments
of failing in this stressful time of his life-
Finally, with a loud crack the ball soars
through the air-
The hard brown plate:
a brick wall on his face,
When he stands up,
he realizes he had just made
A Homerun!

~Metaphor Poem

Anger

Anger erupts inside me
As if a volcano
Were exploding,
Hatred overwhelms my body
Until I have lost
All controlMy mouth
that I later regret.
My world is demolished as
Rage bubbles over
and around me.
Thoughts of violence
Consume my mind,
When all is over,
I cool off-
Knowing I will
Burst again.

~Metaphor Poem

Thanksgiving-1992

An aroma fills the air
throughout the house-
The scent strong enough
to wake a mouse.
Turkey browns within
the hot oven-
A symbol of true
motherly lovin'.
All delicious things that
come from God's soil-
Vegetables and such,
come to a boil.
As expected, the kitchen
is a mess-
Could you even consider
anything less?
Dishes spill over the
boundaries of the sink-
More choas than in
a circus rink!
When all is over, and
the food is done-
The places are set,
and we have some fun.
Knives and forks bang
against the fancy plates-
Tonight there is no rivalry
or even hate.
After our dinner, we
set up the tree-
All is well and
in harmony.

I Wish

I wish the world
was made of Snickers
or Twx,
where candy bars
are the only bricks.
The roads-
A neat array
of cake a la mode.
A place where the soda
rivers overflowed.
Candy Canes
stand as poles,
and sugar fills all
the bowls.
Now I wish that
I had a mop-
For the sun has
has come up,
and my world
has turned to slop.
But not before
I ate a bunch,
I had caramel apples
for both breakfast
and lunch.
I tried all the
treats to
be tasted-
I figured, why should
anything get
wasted?
Now I think I need
a bag!
I'm gonna blow!
I'm gonna gag!

Algebra

When I multiply
and divide,
My boredom is
to hide.
With all these
parenthesis
and fractions,
I long for some action.
Positives and
Negatives,
After class,
I need a sedative.
Numbers written
here and there,
Anymore stress and
I'll start to lose my hair!
I can't wait until
I'm dismissed,
I can guarantee
This class won't
be missed!

My Best Friend

My Best Bud is...
Totally honest about
her feelings and emotions.
Always there to listen to me,
No matter the commotion.
She does her best to
give me her advice-
And she ever needed my help,
I wouldn't think twice.
She's trustworthy and
and she cares,
And if you're out of cash,
She's the first one who shares.
She tells me the truth
And never lies,
And we are there for each other
When one of us cries.
Even though we may get
into a fight here and there,
That may involve the pulling of hair,
We wind up getting
along,
Only if to sing
yet another song.
At times,we think the
same thoughts,
And when we break something,
We never get caught.
She can be as annoying
as a blister,
But then again, we can be
as close as sisters.
Out of all the friends I've had,
She is truly the best.
And is she were to be graded on loyalty,
She would surely pass the test!
