A Clock is a Circle for a Reason, You Know?
For when you need to let go
What is today but memories
Of futures yet to come
And songs we sing today
Forgotten tunes our children hum
Fires burning steady now
Will bank then smoke and die
And art awaiting thoughtful gaze
Will fade from waiting eyes
The days that pass now
Are yet gone
As they come to us
And problems right now
Will be done
Over before they must
What is the past but overused
To make the future real
To make us look and see and think
And sometimes make us feel
Although we take and take from it
(And to the future give)
We never really learn from it
What all we need to live
So in the end, middle and start
Take these words I’ve learned
Engrave them down into your heart
And try to think them earned
For everything comes with a cost
And it’s now you’ll be paying
Lingering in all the past you’ve lost
Leaves your future decaying.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
