Three Little Words

Three little words
Mean the world to some
And nothing to others

Three little words
Can power the world
Or tear it down

Those three little words
"I love You"

Waiting...

I wait by the
Door after school
Just standing
Waiting…

They don’t come
I should have
Known they wouldn’t

Now I look stupid
Like a dork
As I stand here
Waiting…

Friend of a Suicidal

You here these stories,
These rumors,

You learn about it,
In school,
At home,

You see it on TV,
In the newspaper,

You don't take it seriously,

Until it happens to someone close to you!

Dear Ashley,

Dear Ashley,

I have just received your prayer. That is a very good question. Why do I invent these horrible things?? Over time people on Earth have grown lazy. Pollution is everywhere. Global-warming is taking it's toll. People need to learn to adapt and survive. People also need new challenges...new obstacles to over come. That is the best way I can answer your question.

Dear God 2

Dear God,

Ashley here again. Maybe you got my prayer. David (my younger brother) is slowly becoming better. The chemo seems to have helped. He looks alive again. Not so pale. He is more...colorful. Thank you very much God for all you have done for me.

Dear God,

Dear God,

Hello. You probably already know this but my name is Ashley Elizabeth Green. (Everyone calls me Ashley though.) I have a question God. What is cancer?? My Pastor says you invented everything in this Universe. If that is true, why, oh why did you invent cancer?? My little brother Mike was just diagnosed with Leukemia. ALL to be exact. Why is there evil in this world God?
