“STARS”
by Randy Singh
Way up high, in the sky they shine
No one can call them mine
They are in a space we all share
Even though we can’t see them, we know they are there
We count the starts, we try our best
Even though we know they are endless
Some are big, and some are small
But we still count them all.
Stars are like batteries, eventually they die out
They won’t come back, I doubt
But they never die in our hearts.
“Soccer Is My Life”
by Ramey Aly
Soccer: the sport I love to play everyday
I call up my friends so we can all chill
We play soccer mostly on a Sunday
We bet some money to see who can win
I played soccer when I was just five years old
My Uncle taught me how to kick the ball
I play soccer when it is hot or cold
Happy parents cheer when I score a goal
After the game they choose me as the most valuable player
They take my friends and me for some ice cream
My friends ask me to chill, I say later
During the game we play like a great team
Soccer is my life and my future
And with soccer my dreams won’t be butchered
“Clouds”
by Kayla Perez
I stare into the cloudy skies
Looking for my silver lining
Looking for my moment of clarity
But all I saw was the gray and black clouds
A storm is coming
I wonder if I could survive this one
Was I ready for another downfall?
Was I prepared to overcome what lies before me?
Bit it is now that I realize
That after all the storms
There is always sunshine
It’s as life is readying itself for a new beginning
I take a quick glance before I leave
And right there staring back at me
Is a bright star letting me know
I’m not alone
