Poetry Unit

Enjoy the following poems by these talented students in my Reading class.

Family
Brother and sister
We fought all the time
You were there for me
I'm here for you.
More than miles apart
You're there while I'm here
We talk somewhat,
But not enough.
I still think of the memories
that we shared
many good.

Life
I know it has taken me some time,
But I've finally seemed to realize
That with every helping hand you gave,
You seemed to make my whole life change.

I know that now you're gone
And nothing is the same,
But please don't regret the things you've done.
You made my whole life change.


Roads and Paths
I'm up and down this road again
Like I have been all my life
The same steps and the same routine
But I don't dare to find-

All of these things and people
That I wish to know
All of these places I think
I'd want to go.

But I live within the world
Where I want to find my path.
