FIVE MONTHS WITHOUT YOU
Five months without you
and I'm already going crazy
doing everything I can
before someone calls me lazy
Five months without you
have been lonely and sad,
remembering why you left
only makes me mad.
Five months without you
feeling guilt in my heart,
thinking it was my fault
that you had to depart.
Five months without you
tears still roll from my eyes,
knowing it was for the best
but still wanting to cry.
Five months without you
have been really hard,
but I have to remember
deep in my heart
you'll always be alive.

To penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education.
In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

The Love-Hat Relationship
by Aaron Belz
I have been thinking about the love-hat relationship.
It is the relationship based on love of one another's hats.
The problem with the love-hat relationship is that it is superficial.
You don't necessarily even know the other person.
Also it is too dependent on whether the other person
is even wearing the favored hat. We all enjoy hats,
but they're not something to build an entire relationship on.
My advice to young people is to like hats but not love them.
Try having like-hat relationships with one another.
See if you can find something interesting about
the personality of the person whose hat you like.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY
By Jamie Bayard
It is easier to
embrace ignorance
than to gain knowledge.
Life is a journey
not a destination
For if we loose site
of our purpose
we end up in bondage.
When does a man
realize his flaws?
Truly to be humbled
by his actions and
the words from his jaw
At the very moment
of realization
awakened by a roaring
Lion
scared without patience
At this moment the
heart burns and stomach
like a stray dog, hungry
for a ration of anything,
anything, anything….but
this he can not change.
It’s at your bitter
end you realize that
Life is real…..
One cannot escape it
with a crumb or a pill
Nothing is new
all has been done.
I used to ask:
What is my purpose?
and the answer was;
“Just to have fun”.
I know now more than
ever, in the eye of the storm.
May be clear for a moment
and can appear to be the norm.
but in just a few seconds
here comes the alarm!
Thrashing and blowing
and pouring down pain
Run, run, run, get away
from the rain…..
Hide in the house
Hide with your friends
Hide with your conscience
We know how that ends……

MY GRANDMA
by Niamh Kennedy, Grade 2
My Grandma is the sweetest one
she tells me not to suck my
thumb. And when I make that
big mistake, she tells me "try!
That's all it takes". My Grandma
knows how to have fun when
I'm with her we run run run.
From shows to shops from bikes
to pools, she plays with me even
at school! She loves me lots I'm
sure you see. My Grandma
means the world to me.

Moonlight's Shimmer
by Joe Riccio, grade 5
MOONLIGHTS SHIMMER
The sparkle in my eyes at one last
prayer
The stars glisten in the sky
The Moon's shaft of light, lights
the path of faith and hope
For my new day
The Immaculate Moon's flawless,
faultless, pure, and pristine,
Gleam of light shines on me
The darkness inward bounds yet the
moon still stays the same
The Moonlight's Shimmer tendency
Still stays the same as always and
forever.

Do you Know
By Amy Still
Do you know that
there is someone
who cares about you
and loves you just
the way you are?
And that someone
is God. He cares
about you so much.
For it says in the
Bible in John 3:16,
"For God so loved
the world that he
gave his one and
only Son, that
whoever believes
in him shall not
perish but have
eternal life."

Roof - one of the major elements of the house,
emphasizing its architectural expressiveness and being an element of the facade,
carrying out functions of protection against atmospheric precipitation.
But not all traditional technologies allow to design and construct a roof of any form,
in short terms and with appropriate quality.

WAKING OF LIFE:
new born child of sweet sensation,
beautiful flower, as if a carnation.
going to sleep shut thine blue eyes.
dreaming so deep of the beautiful sunrise.
and when you wake you shall be fully grown,
a wonderful life that you have known.
