Things That Matter
by:  RLee (10 year old)

My Mom and Dad are loving and kind
They teach me discipline and respect
My Mom and Dad support me
And provide a safe environment
Full of joy and humor
My family matters to me

Animals make me feel happy
Some animals are trained to entertain and amaze
My dog Ramsay; rest in peace Mozart
Sweet kind and loving
She gives my family companionship
Animals matter to me

Mrs.Maguire prepared me for Mrs.Szigety
Mrs.Szigety prepared me for Mrs.Noggle
Mrs.Noggle prepared me for Ms.B
Pinecrest is preparing me for life
Pinecrest is pride and spirit, safe,loving and caring
Pinecrest matters to me

Fr.Matthew is a big part of my family
He baptized me into the Catholic Faith
He gave my Mom and I First Communion
Fr.Matthew is there in times of joy and sadness
Fr.Matthew matters to me

These things matter
Because God made them
God is loving and kind
He is watching you and me
God is almighty and powerful
God matters to me
