You're always in my mind
No matter what time of day
You're always on the tip of my tongue
And on the end of my pen
I've had my best times with you
And my worst
Our lives quite rarely intertwine
We're always traveling separate paths
But that's what makes our friendship so special
I can tell you anything
And you'll never judge
And you can tell me anything
Knowing that I won't
You are only one of few
But if you are one of those
You'll know it when you read this poem
Because this poem is for you
You make my life special
And keep my head high
And when I think that all is lost
You surprise me by showing up
Right when I need you most
This poem I wrote so that you'll see
Exactly what you mean to me
So thank you to those rare few
For everything and all you do
You keep a smile on my face
And make this world a better place

It’s so disturbing to see what people come to
How quickly they ruin what might have been
It’s so disturbing to see people go from light to dark
It physically hurts to watch them fall

It’s so disturbing to watch your friends whither
As they turn their back on heaven’s light
It’s so disturbing to see the past disappear
To watch as history demolishes itself

It hurts to see people ruin themselves
People who were so close to you
Friends and neighbors moving on
And leaving you wondering what is right

It’s hard to leave the past behind
The memories you thought were life itself
Those moments you wish would last forever
Old jokes never told again

It can’t be stopped
It can’t be avoided
It can only be accepted
No matter how hard it feels at first.
And then forever.

No one lives forever. It all
Ends someday. It can be
Very sad. But it happens anyway.
Everyone you know, all that you
Remember, may not be around, but they can live
Forever. It may seem impossible, but
Only if you believe it so. Just like
Rain that never falls, it is your friend, it is your foe.
Go to that place you only find in your deepest memory.
Everyone you've ever known where they'll
Together always be.

I hear the laughter
I see the cheer
I feel the warmth
From ear to ear

We're all together
We're all the same
We're all playing
The very same game

And all around me
There are grins
Everyone's happy
Everyone wins

From ponytails
To sneaker soles
each of us chases
identical goals

We work and laugh
We're having fun
The road is rough
But we are one.

"I love you" are the most common words muttered on Valentine's Day.
On this one special day, everyone thinks of the people they care about.
Although Valentine's Day can sometimes cause more stress and sorrow than not,
We must remember what the day is really about.

In the next week, I challenge you to tell three people, "I love you."
Every day until the end of the week.

If they say it back, then you are loved.
If they don't they don't deserve yours.

Remember that the people who love you don't care about your quirks.
They accept your flaws and make you feel good about yourself.

Aim to get at least one, "I love you" every singe day.
In that sense, in that way, Valentine's Day will never end.

Look for the people who really matter and don't stop until you do.
And once you find them, hold them tight, and tell them, "I Love You."

I guarantee they'll say it back, and even if they find it hard.
Let them know you'll keep their heart and that you'll be their guard.

"I love you more than buttercups!" Said little Mary Liu
Said Tiny Tim to Mary Liu, "I love you more than glue!"
"I love you more than applesauce." Said Betty to Lucille.
Lucille replied, "I love you more than wet banana peel!"

"I like you more than broccoli." Said Kimmie to her mom.
Her mother smiled, "Kim I love you more than lemon balm."
"I love you more than ******." Debbie told her boyfriend Don.
Donny looked at her and said, "Me too! I wish that you were gone."

So in the end, it seems to seem that Valentines are not
Anything more than people who just like to spend a lot
Valentine's Day isn't quite as glorious as we
Swoon and croon and quite as big as we make it to be

I am proud because I’ve had so many opportunities in my life, and I feel I’ve taken many of them.

I am loyal because there is nothing I won’t do for a friend.

I am brash because I often rush into things without thinking.

I am clumsy because I run into walls a lot and often trip while going down the stairs.

I am kind because I do my best to help people less fortunate than me.

I am easily distracted because there’s always something more interesting than what I’m supposed to be doing.

I am hard-working because when I want something truly, there’s nothing that can get in my way.

I am strong because I stand for what I believe in and don’t let people take me down.
