When I find the person
I want to give my heart to
I don't want to have to give him
A broken heart
...
since trees grow tall
through spring and fall
lasting for thousands of years
...
in this country of ours
there's sometimes dark hours
when things go wrong
some people are strong
...
I've never had a phone
But I got one of my own
And I loved it so mu-uch
Until things got rough
...
You said you needed my help
So I came over
You showed me your talents
And when it was over
...
Keep your eyes on the sky
Don't let a chance pass you by
Be ready to travel light
'cause you could fly anytime
...
Is our love over?
Is this romance really done?
I guess I was wrong
To think that you could be the one
...
If I told you I missed you,
would you push me out of your life?
If I told you I loved you,
would you laugh at me and feel right?
...
Hello! My name is Adele and I want to be a poet someday. I'm currently fourteen years old and I've written several poems. I really think that poetry is a form of art, and art is all about expressing yourself or making a point. I feel like a poem is like a seed floating on the wind. It's blown into your mind for a few moments, just long enough for you to grasp the words. I think that each seed that floats upon the wind has a purpose. It is meant to bring someone through a hard time, help them realize something, or give someone help. I believe that each poem I write is given to me to help someone who will someday find my poem and be helped. Someone will read my poem and hold on or let go, and smile in relief. This, writing poetry, is what gives me significance in this huge world. I know that my poetry will someday benefit someone, and them I'll be able to sleep easy and smile.)
My Family
My family's dear to me
Dear like nothing else
My family's there for me
When I feel aloneness
My family's close together
Close together, nothing's better
My family's the best thing
That's happened to me
My family
