Freezing fog
Trees protest
They can’t shiver
It’s a test.
Wait for spring
Hold all breath
Patient trees
Denying death.

Stagnant air
Hanging white
Building daggers
In the night.
Grim to breathe
Grim to touch
Patient are trees
That suffer such.

Winter cracks and
Winter cleaves
No bitter words
Are heard from leaves.
Watch the trees
For they will show
The path of patience
And way to grow.
It's so ******* cold here.

"Daddy look at all the sandcastles"
"Aren't they all so grand?"
"Who could have known a king and his throne,
Could simply be made out of sand"

"Look at the beautiful towers"
"I wonder if a princess lives there"
"I'll bet she is kind, they're so hard to find,
With beautiful long flowing hair"

My daughter loved to go to the beach
She loved the sandcastles the best
But she didn't know her heart was too slow
And soon they would open her chest

It's funny sometimes how time can fly
It only seems like yesterday
There was a major complication with her operation
And my daughter has passed away

I still go to the beach from time to time
To see the sandcastles on display
I still close my eyes and part of me dies
Each time I hear her say

"Daddy look at all the sandcastles"
"Aren't they all so grand?"
"Who could have known a king and his throne,
Could simply be made out of sand"
Do you love me
When I trip and fall
Flat on my face,
Such a big disgrace,
But to top it all
You smile and say,
“I love you, babe”
And the pain goes away.
Do you love me
When I say something dumb,
Like “Goodness Gracious”
When all grace is
Is the look in your eyes
As you smile and say
“I love you, babe”
And the shame goes away.
Some express their feelings through sports
Others express them through reading
There are so many ways to do this
You can do it by punching a wall when you’re angry
Or cranking up the metal music in your room when you’re upset
You can pound on the keyboard when someone has disappointed you
You can make mellow words flow through like a spring of water when you’re happy and joyful
You can dance because that special person is in your life
You can stand in the rain as both salty tears and rain run down your face because you’re sad
You can be silent because you don’t have words to say
You can give a hug because you have pity on a person who is hurting inside greatly
You can hold her close because you love her deeply
You can laugh because something was funny
You can stand still, not breathing because you’re feeling fear
You can sit slowly as you realize something shocking has occurred
You can blink and stand or sit because you’re calm
You can smile because that one thing that they said made you proud
You’re eyes can shine with gratitude
You can yell because you’re steaming mad
And you can write as emotions of happiness, sadness, anger, love, and fear run through you.
