Cold winds tickle the trees
As light snow falls quietly
On the leaves of an evergreen forest

Grass falls as the storm grows
Winter whistling it's bitter
Freezing songs

Delicate patterns of frost
Drifting down from the clouds
Bringing the message of winter

It’s valentine’s day
February 14
It's the weekend

I think
What is the purpose of this day
Is the color red or pink
Is it called valentine or valentime’s day

I think it is because of all the candy
You get now and days
That comes really handy dandy
I just get it always

Our teacher makes us write letters
To those who we love
People write love letters
I guess that’s true love

I never knew
Why we were supposed to write that letter
Not even a clue
It was a symbol for love forever

I go home
My parents have a surprise
It’s a new comb
And then together we ate fries

I don’t understand
Why we giving presents
Then we kissed each other’s hands
Those presents aren’t even worth cents

I realized the value doesn’t matter
They put hard work into that
And that is what matters
After that we had a little chat

Friends are friends
No matter their gender

Friends are friends
No matter their race

Friends are friends
No matter their spieces

Friends are friends
No matter their anything

Friends are friends
And they are always here for you.

Blinking,
The stinging cold rushing into my eyes
I'm trying to push back the past
Only feeling the present

Hiking to the top of a hill
Legs feeling like straw
I'm trying to push away the future
Only feeling the present

I need to stay where I am
And figure out the next step
I know that step...
But I can't do it alone.

Together,
We
Are
Strong.
