Pants, Stop, Spring, Memories, Dreams, Determined

Pants

Pants are lots of different sizes,
they're often filled with some surprises.
Sometimes they shrink, sometimes they're pink,
Sometimes they make a weird kind of noise,
some are for girls and some are for boys,
Sometimes they're loose and sometimes there tight,
Sometimes you wonder how to make them fit right.
If pants could talk what would they say?
Would they make you feel good, would they ruin your day?


Stop

When will people realize what there doing?
Other people are always viewing,
Drop the guns and start to respect,
and learn always not to neglect,
People are crying, people are dying,
16 year olds with guns in there hands,
shouting loud and mean demands,
Shooting at schools, teenagers acting like fools,
So stop the violence we need silence,
Peace is in need, we need to stop with all this greed.


Spring

Flowers blooming in the spring,
as I hear the little birdies sing,
children go outside and play,
as everyone says it's a lovely day!
The warm sun shines down on me,
As everyone finally has come to see,
spring has finally come to be,
Spring is knocking at our door,
Now if only it lasted an hour more.


Memories

Memories are about the time you laughed,
the times you cried,
the times you played in the ocean tides.
The times you watched the fireworks burst,
and when you ran in the race and came in first,
But when the sun sets you think its all done,
but really its just begun.


Dreams

Sparkles are floating everywhere,
I am flying through the air,
I feel so light like a leaf,
This is so real I can't believe,
I dream of fairies granting wishes,
I dream of blue and purple fishes,
I dream of gold and silver bells,
I dream of clams and cockle shells,
I dream of colorful rainbows stretching over sparkling oceans,
I dream of scientist making lots of secret potions,
Someday all my dreams will come true.
And it just might happen to you.


Determined

I am so determined to do my best,
I think I am better than the rest,
I know I can do it,
I believe in myself,
I can spin and jump like no one else,
As I look at everyone else just stare,
They watch me as I spin and glide,
Cause my spirit is something I just can't hide,
I love what I am,
I am just me,
There is no one else I would like to be.
