Forgiveness

Wants the best for another

Despite wrongs done.

PAD Challenge 11-1 forgiveness

Making it Right

Like fragrance after rain, is a soul

who owns up to the wrong done,

makes it right as best as possible

and is in relationship once again.

Changing Times

One time, on a school night

I wrecked my sled and

broke my glasses

and I had to go a whole day

at school with everything

looking like blurry blobs.

I looked down a lot

and most people

except for my friends

didn’t notice my shiner.

But Mr. Bryson

called me forward

for some reason.

I can’t remember why.

But I remember looking up

and I could see he wore

a strange expression.

He had this almost smile

but didn’t say anything.

Nowadays my parents

probably would have

received a phone call.

Messenger

I was in chemistry class

when the bell rang

coincidently at the time

I asked for a bathroom pass.

Mr. Jones thought

I was getting the pass

to meet with my boyfriend.

He said, “Tell Drew I said hi.”

I couldn’t pass up the chance.

So, after I went to the restroom,

I walked into study hall,

found Drew and told him,

“Mr. Jones said hi.”

No one questioned me.

If they did, I would have said

that Mr. Jones had sent me.

He Saw Me in Purple

I remember one year in high school,

purple was a popular color.

One boy noticed this

and was pointing out all the purple shirts.

I was wearing purple that day.

He pointed to me, “There’s another one.”

I was surprised he saw me.

People normally didn’t.

I was noticed for wearing a purple shirt.

Just a fluke.

Burn Out

Life’s plate piles ridiculously high

Teeters as it reaches the sky

Without a doubt

You’ll burn out

If you soon don’t prioritize

Burning Acres

No hurricanes here

Tornadoes are rare

Snowstorms, we can wait out

But here in southwest Colorado

where we get about 13 inches of rain each year,

you better not drop a match.
