The traffic in the street rings in my ears
The people talking
People on the sidewalk singing
It’s snowing
Finally it is a white Christmas
The big tree being decorated
It’s snowing
The smell of cookies
The big tree being decorated
The starry night
The smell of cookies
The stocking being hanged up
The starry night
People on the sidewalk singing
The stockings being hanged up
The traffic in the street rings in my ears
A yes
Be a yes
Ceiling is full of yes
Doom over saying yes
Be a yes
Eee yes
Doom over yes
Flowering over yes
Eeeyes
Geee that’s a yes
Ceiling is full of yes
He says yes
Geee that’s a yes
Ceiling is full of yes
He says yes
A yes
Cruisers, destroyers, carriers, battle
Torpedoes, shells flying through water and air
Shells hitting the ships blowing them through the air
Then I see it, the shell
Torpedoes flying through the water
Boom, Boom, our torpedoes hit
Then I see it, the shell
We get hit water rushes in
“Boom, Boom,” our shells hit
Ratatatata antiaircraft puts the fourth of July in the sky
We hit ’em, they crash into the water
Boom, chug, chug, BLAM a plane goes down
Ratatata antiaircraft fire puts the fourth of July in the sky
Shells hitting the ships blowing
Boom, blam, blam a plane blows up
Cruisers, destroyers, carriers, battleships
The End
they all lived happily ever after
He is kind and funny and always cracks me up
He is cool he is nice and never lies
He is unknown to people but not all
The world should get to know him
He is cool he is nice and never lies
He is a great friend
The world should get to know him
Always has my back
He is a great friend
If I fall he has my back
Always has my back
He is Oliver!
If I fall he helps me up
He is unknown to people but not all
He is Oliver
He is kind and funny and always cracks
me up.
the end!
Oceans in your eyes
Rivers in your hand
Take away the sand
Morgan
Rivers in your hand
Fish make the spots on your dress
Morgan
Waterfalls of hair
Fish make the spots on your dress
Sunset smile on glistening water
Waterfalls of hair
Morgan you let me fly!
Sunset smile on glistening water
Take away the sand
Morgan you let me fly!
Oceans in your eyes
The suspense builds up
You feel someone watching
Your breathing gets heavy
Your body is overwhelmed
You feel someone’s presence
Is this the end?
Your body is scared
Your brain hurts
Is my life over?
Something bad is soon going to happen
Your brain throbs
You black out
Something bad is approaching soon
Your breathing stops
You say goodbye
The suspense builds up higher
I get my blades on
I go outside
The air feels warm
I take a breath.
I go outside of the patio
I stay steady
I take another breath.
I start to fall but slowly get up
“Still steady” I say
My mom getting ahead of me
I slowly fall again but get up.
I feel free
My mom waiting for me.
The air feels warmer than before
I feel The End coming soon
I get my blades off.
Cupping an egg in my hands
Walking across the floor
Dirt gets between the bottom of my shoes
I hear a sound and walk around
Walking across the floor
I get entranced by the view
I hear a sound and dance around
I get too lost
I get entranced by the movements
My hands loosen up
I get too focused
The egg falls
My hands loosen once more
Dirt turns in the cracks of my shoes
The egg falls
I cup an egg in my hands.
The guns firing
The cruiser sailing
The ship sinking
The torpedoes in the water
The cruiser firing
The big BOOM
The torpedoes in the water again
Water splashes
The big BOOM
planes in the air
water splasher
The bomb hits
more planes in the air
more ships sinking
more bombs hit
The last gun fires.
Acorns in your dreams
Hazel, brown, beautiful
Full of nature
Small, round, interesting
Hazel, brown, beautiful
Squirrels favorite snack
Small, round, interesting
Came from a tree
Squirrels favorite snack
Smells like heaven
Came from a tree
Unique in its own way
Smells like heaven
Full of nature
Unique in its own way
Acorns in your dreams
