Peeking through the window
It strikes upon the wall
With a pull of a string
It can capture it all
It’s found on a candle
That smells like summer fun
It’s found everywhere
You just can’t ignore the sun
Flick it goes
It’s dark again
It’s like a cycle that never ends
Look deep inside and there you’ll see
The light burning inside of me
It’s dim at times but yet it shines
The brighter the light depends on the time

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!"
