You Can't Put Out My Flame


Look into the flames,
Glowing so bright
They make you feel so happy,
Free of all cares and warm inside
Spread you rwings and take flight to the air,
Now free in your mind and free in your heart,
Free of all the sadness that was once tearing you apart
You notice how light you can be in your heart
Then the wind starts to blow
This feeling tries to break away
Keep hold of it, my friend
Don't let it blow away
Keep it safe in your heart
When hard times come through,
Just say to them and let them know
They can try all they want
But make sure to tell them,
You can't put out my flame!

    The sweet smell of nectar fills the air,

    I swoop down to the flowers,

    I see buds on the trees,

    Maple Syrup


    Maple Syrup

    Sugary water,
    dripping,
    dripping,
    Slowly filling up the buckets,
    Maple boiling,
    Until at last,
    Sugar,
    Slow moving,
    delicious,
    dropping onto your pancakes,
