Types of friends.
Some last long
While others end
Some you know
Will always last,
Some you know
Will never pass.
Some are nice,
And some are mean.
Some are better
Than they seem.
Yes, there are many
Types of friends.
Some stay true,
and others end.
Look for the ones
You know will last,
and leave the
Others in the past.
These can be hard to spot,
so be careful,
Take your time,
and eventually
You will find
The friends that are
Nice and true,
The friends you know
Are there for you.
There are many different
Types of friends
Yes, some stay true,
While others end.
Shrek isn’t the most
Popular one.
He doesn’t get
a one hundred
on everything.
But none of that
matters today
because he
tried his best
in every way.
He tried his best
in everything.
As long as he
keeps that up,
he will succeed,
Even if he fails.
When you want
To do something,
But you can’t
Take a step,
You can’t find
your courage,
Can’t catch
your breath,
Just talk to
A friend.
A family member
Works too.
They will help you
Find your courage too.
Sometimes courage is
Hard to find,
But people can
Help you by
Just being kind.
Words can hurt
In a different kind of way,
In some ways words can make someone’s day.
Words can make something beautiful,
They can make something great.
Words can make the world turn
And can make hearts break.
But words can be bold
Words can be great
Sometimes words can cause hate.
Don’t take advantage of words
In any way.
If you can’t manage words
Then take them away,
Lock them a room that’s very far away
Be careful with your words
That’s all I’m trying to say.
I feel sick
O’ yes it’s true,
I feel sick
O’ I feel blue.
I feel sad
But excited too
I am in
The car on the
way to
Grandma’s house.
Yippee! Grandma
Has promised
To make a
Batch of her
Chocolate chip
Cookies,
O’ it’s true.
They’re the best!
When I take
A bite of
That delicious
Mess,
I can’t help
But smile and
Say Hooray!
I feel better
Already.
Let’s go and
Play!
The flowers bloom
But then fade
The trees grow leaves.
Well, they then
fall away,
season
after
season,
year
after
year.
The change.
It’s always the same,
but there are
some things
that should
never change.
A mother’s
everlasting love
for her
child,
or the way
children’s laughter
always makes
someone
smile.
Yes, change is nice.
Yes, change is true.
But somethings need
to stay the same,
like love
Or
the words in a cherished book.
But sometimes,
things change
when we don’t
want them
to,
so hold on
to your
hope,
and you will
see hope
will
help you
Live
Your dreams.
I ride down the
river
of colors,
Blue and green,
Watching the fish
swim from
Point A
to
Point B.
My hand dips
down to
feel into
the deep,
while my hair
blows in
the cold nice
Breeze.
My face is glowing
as bright as
the sun.
O’ riding down the river
Is so much fun!
