Red Red Rose
by Robert Burn
Oh my love is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
Oh my love is like the melody,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas go dry.
Till all the seas go dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only love!
And fare thee well a while!
And I will come again, my love,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!
How Beautiful
Some gentle hands through her hair,
like liquid silk floating through the air.
Her most beautiful face as it glows,
always reveals more than it shows.
Her large heart as big as her body,
that is why she is so goddessly.
The only fear on asking that first date,
it might be me she might hate.
tOaD?
As I was walking down the road,
along side was a small, talking toad.
Yes that little frog next to the street,
was very annoying for the sake of Pete!
What that small toad told me,
was surely good advice from he.
He said and I quote,
"Don't take this road you dolt!"
Beast!
The small streak of light on the door,
from the candle outside the door.
There is a quick loud knocking,
then it stops, must be nothing.
At percisely one hour later,
what kind of beast of nature.
It breaks down the door and in came through the fog,
the only thing i ever saw, was a little dog.
Footprints
Footprints have been around for a long time,
in sand, mud, clay, dirt, and lime.
Some footprints from millions of years ago,
and every detail, and every toe.
There has been many theories of why we have feet,
and everybody has one that can't be beat.
Many think just for walking,
I think they're just talking.
Some think just for balance,
without it one can take a stance.
Maybe someone has thoughts like mine,
it is here to help record time.
helpless
Watching her beautiful face,
blinding me like a strong mace.
Although I have known her quite short,
whenever I see her it makes me out of sort.
Her scent as distinct as smell goes,
and as sweet as the smell of a rose.
Even though she is a plum,
she wouldn't be interested in someone so dumb.
So I guess for right now I will have to wait,
just to ask her before that first date.
The ugly face of greed.
Trying to be a gentleman,
and calming her down and holding her hand.
Taking in consideration her pain,
and only abusing it to my gain.
Me being shelfish and being so insecure,
when I should be finding her a cure.
I am always alone and sometomes too lonely,
but i am not here for that other agony.
Maybe someday I will be more than a friend,
although our lives change at every pain-staking bend.

sOcIeTy'S wOrSt
Thinking of the people that complain, moan, and whine,
even though there are plenty of things of their's divine.
People of the world don't see,
what in the world is bothering me.
Although many a nights I lie at home and cry,
I sometimes wish that I would die.
I sometimes dream I had someone,
someone who would laugh, play, and have fun.
There is only one problem,
I only have to find that someone.
Unknown treasures
Many have been scared by unknown people,
there only hiding place is the church steeple.
Right now there is a flury of rain,
the kind that cause the old to pain.
There is good in the old,
telling their stories is worth more than gold.
I hope people realize they have a force,
that they can be, the world's greatest resource.

the roof
As I lay upon the roof,
I think of the things I goof.
Wherever I am, something is wrong,
I always get this feeling that I don't belong.
Like i was put on earth for no reason,
living small lies, heartless, some morbid creaton.
My life seems to get harder everyday,
like everything I do, goes wrong in some way.
So here I come to think,
night falls, and the stars begin to blink.
Why must I continue this life,
Like i must take it in strife.
Why have I no love in return,
When I have so much love it will burn.
Maybe my life should end now,
before the sun even goes down.
real or imagine?
A bubble may be a thought of reality,
but life is just imagination, maybe.
Life just floats around like a balloon,
you need a little heat to make it come soon.
But if you put to much heat,
and that life, you will not meet.
For it will dissapear,
and from life, you will never hear.
where i belong
The place where I belong is nowhere near,
but rather very far-away from here.
I usually think about it, hard and long,
and wonder why, what is wrong?
I sometimes cry to lessen the pain,
but it always comes back, almost the same.
god put me on this world so he could tease me,
taunt me with things i cannot have, but just see.
I love her so much, my heart hurts when I look,
and for that moment, i am in heaven, until arm is shook.
Feelings so strong they are their own,
but these feelings I have not shown.
Instead they come out every night,
as my heart breaks, even though i fight.
I aways wonder why,
this always happens to thy.
Moonlight Ride
(Author unknown)
Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting, she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I dont mean playing football).
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away:
"Please take me home, I don’t want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"
Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car were alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
She prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there ~ she never agreed.
But took her hand with tears in her eyes
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
