Games

The last few ones have been pretty long so here's a short and simple one =)

Games
Running, running
Chasing, chasing
Bean bag toss
And potato sack racing

All of the games 
Are so much fun
Girls and boys of all ages
They're fun for everyone

The Princess

The Princess
Once upon a time
Long, long ago
There was a princess
Waiting for a beau

Stood at the window
Everyday
Waiting, waiting
Waiting her life away

Why, she asked
Does he not some
All this waiting
Makes me numb

She cried herself
To sleep at night
Hoping he'd come
At the next light

One day
While sitting there
She heard a voice
And turned in her chair

Standing behind her
Dressed in White
There was a man
But he was not her knight

The princess spoke
Questioning the man
Who are you, she asked
He answered, I am

He told her of someone
Who thinks of her a lot
Loves her unconditionally
And her freedom her bought

He game his life
Up for you
What, she asked
Is this true

Yes, he said
My words are true
My dear princess
I would't lie to you

This man
Of whom you speak
Must come to me
For I am weak

He did, said the man
I am him
The he told her of his love
And filled her cup to the brim

She asked God into her heart
That very night
Prayed God into her life
Overwhelmed the darkness with light

From then on
She was filled with joy
And eventually she got married 
And had a baby boy... :)

Live 4 Him

<3

Live 4 Him
So many problems
In the world around me
So much chaos
Does surround me

It's so easy to get lost
In my things
So easy to idolize
The fake joy that it brings

In so short a time
I turn from the Lord
In so short a time
I'm so easily bored

Destruction and turmoil
Strike the land
But with God at my side
Against me none can stand

If I only opened
My eyes to see
Everything God
Could do with me

So now I proclaim
I will turn my back
On the hurt that I brought
And the love that I lacked

I need Jesus' help
I wanna shine with his joy
I'll help bring down the devil
Who steals, kills, and destroys

So I challenge all people
Who hear me today
To join me in battle
Because God's here to stay.


When I wrote this I was so excited that I got to use the line "destruction and turmoil strike the land" because it's so much fun to say and it's very dramatic =)

Roller Coaster Ride

So, I don't even like roller coasters but I wrote this poem anyway.... =) enjoy!

Roller Coaster Ride
Higher, higher,
Higher we go
Everyone's anxious
Because this part's slow

The very next part
Is going to be fast
That part
Is such a blast

When you reach the top
You don't want to look down
Because you're so far
Off the ground

Then it speeds up
Everyone screams
But it's gone so fast
It feels like a dream

The other hills
Are also fun
But the don't surpass
The biggest one

When it's done
You get back in line
To do it again
One more time...

Childhood Games

I really love this one...

Childhood Games
As I was walking down the street
Listening to the birds go tweet
I passed a a home, it was quiet as can be
Until I heard a young boy call out a plea

I walked across the yard
Peeked around the house
Took a few steps more
Quiet as a mouse

I saw the young boy
He was playing in the sand
He stood up and started marching
Like in a big marching band

He didn't see me, he was enjoying his game
He steadied his bow, as he took aim
In this game he was an Indian
Saving his people from the mean, old white men

Next he was a tall, handsome, brave knight
Who saved all the ladies, but not without a fight
This way and that, he swung his sword
A throne to the king he restored

I remember well
These childhood games
I survived everything
Even a jump through flames

As a child 
We are confident
Anything's possible
If we just commit

Even now,
Grown ups and all
Anything's possible
So go, do not stall =)

Night Thoughts

So on this blog I'm going to be posting my poems. It is very exciting. Be excited. =)
This poem is one of my favorite ones I've written and one of my best. Here we go:

Night Thoughts
Lying in bed
Brain wheels are turning
Things you are thinking
Things you are learning

Thoughts are deep
Ponder this question
Stumble on facts
Sudden realization

Philosophical things 
Running through your head
Thinking these thoughts
While lying in bed
