For You

My heart skips a beat
when you hold my hand
I need you here
It's my only demand
Please don't leave
For when you're not there
I am filled with sadness
and all I know is despair
Hold me now
in your arm
So that I will
never know harm
You are always there,
You said so too
You brighten my day
So I love You

The Little Girl

She runs towards me and begins to fall
I catch her quickly before she bawls

Goodbye

Thanks for reading
My poetry book
You should come again
for another look
I must go now
and eat apple pie
So now is the time
that I'll say good-bye!

Drowning

You're drowning barely alive
You're still waiting for me to arrive
Those arms of yours that once flew
Now have left only me to rescue you

Snowball Fight

You feel a snowball
smash you face
Look for the person who threw it
and begin the chase

Running quickly
You pick up snow
Then aim carefully
and skillfully throw

Softball

You swing the bat

and slam the ball
Feel the vibration in your fingers
And hear the first base coach call
You run like the wind
To second base
You curve around third
And reach home plate
You hear the people
screaming "home run!"
That's why I think
Softball is really fun

The Sacrifice

He was born
to sacrifice
He came to Earth
to give his life

For all the sins
held in one world
He came to us
His love unfurled

Though we sinned
He only forgave
For His mercy
Shall we ever crave

He gave us miracles
of many kinds
He made lepers walk
and healed the blind

His only reward
was a crown of thorns
He died on a cross
only to be reborn

To make us free
to give us life
This man would die
and take our strife

But on the third day
He would rise
and the cries of victory
are still his prize

What He gave to us
we must give back
He showers us with blessings
so we'll never lack

He came with one purpose
and gave us love
Still angels rejoice
and sing from above!
