Grandpa
He was crippled
But only his body was cracked.
It is not simple
Nor is it an easy matter to explain
Let us juyst leave it at that, she says
And closes the holy book of lies.
She covers her eyes,
Denying to herself
What she knows is unavoidable

My Family
My family is like a science project.
Dad is the big poster that supports the whole set.
Mom is the small detail that makes us stand out.
My brother is the little mistake that ruins the project.
And I am the big report that makes the project complete.

My Family is A Flower
My family is a flower.
My dad is the root because he supports the family.
My mom is the stem because she holds the family together.
My brother is the leaves because he is the smallest one.
I'm the flower, pretty and important.

LOVE IS
Love is a natural feeling inside you
Love is a passion
It's your prized possession
Love is like a tingling feeling in your stomach
Love is a handful of shooting stars
Love moves on and on
But trust that you will find that special one
