Burning Midnight Oil
I love my night study sessions
I burn midnight oil
day after day.
I have read all genres
and continue to do so.
In the dark night,
moon for company,
I pore over books,
and I write my thoughts,
hearing the coyote howling
or the dove cooing.
It’s my meditation time,
nobody bothers.
Wisdom is power,
good judgment skill,
is a precious asset,
I believe firmly.
So, I learn
with unwavering passion,
until my spine hurts
and eyelids beg for rest.
Then I hit the hay,
calling it a day.

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!"
