A Gift I'd Give

When I was thinking about what to write for this entry not many things came to mind. That is parcailly why its taken so long for me to post this. That and the fact that I have just been a tiny bit lazy about it. I thought about different things to write about and I read a lot of other peoples entries, searching for ideas. I have said to myself from the begining that I wasnt going to write anything cheesy, and when I thought about cheesy the idea of world peace came to my mind. Im not trying to make fun of anyones entries or anything like that, I even considered writing about that. Then I finally made my decision of what to write about. The gift that I would like to give is respect. Thats right, r-e-s-p-e-c-t. Respect is a vital life lesson that everyone must learn if they are going to be successful, and the sooner you learn it the better off you will be. So that is why I would like to give this gift, so everyone could have it and we could all benefit from it. If everyone treated eachother with respect it would just make the world that much better of a place to be.

Gift

Some thoughts on a gift...
Perhaps my gift would be:
Knowledge
Love
Friendship
Kindness
Or maybe something tangible, I dont know, im still thinking things through.

To whom would recieve?
I would mainly like to give my gift to my family. Perhaps my mom, dad, brothers or sisters. Or perhaps there is a gift I could give to the whole word? Who knows.

Why? Lets see hear, I dont think I know of anybody who doesnt enjoy a nice gift from time to time.

Love Poem

Love is an interesting thing.
Sometimes you may think you have found love, but in reality your not even close.
You are actually further from love than before.
Sure, love can be found,
But not at a small price.
Sacrifices must be made on both parts.
However dont be disappointed if it doesn't seem to work out
cause love isn't always a mutual feeling although we may want it to be.
Its not that I dont believe in love.
I do think it can be found,
but my search for love continues,
and I am in so rush for it to be found.

Start From Scratch

Traveling the globe to and fro
Building legos with my bro

Lazily floating on the lake
I had a friend, his name was jake

I had many many toys
I played them daily, with my boys

Alpine is my resting place
I know five boys with the name chase

I love many kinds of sports
I also love girls with short shorts:)

Thank you for coming out to play
I really enjoyed your company today!

I Remember

I remember in third grade when we decorated our valentines day treat boxes.
I remember eating nestle treasures during silent sustained reading.
I remember my first crush, I didnt dare tell anyone about it and I never came close to talking to her.
I remember warm summer nights on the top of the houseboat, looking at the stars and enjoying the crisp morning air when the sun hit my skin.
I remember my brothers, when they were at the age that I am now, we are so much alike and I never knew it.
I remember broken bones and the day I got my first cell phone.
I rememer little toys and all my homeboys.
I remember all the cars we used to have, the scent of my brothers red bmw is still imbedded in me.
I remember new shoes and saturday morning cartoons.
I remember the cool ocean water on my skin, and the warm beach sand between my toes.
