THis is my first choice for you people
Hopefully you will enhoy it


It is true
That you meet someone
Who with that first smile
Becomes your friend
Someone who knows
Nothing about you one day
And all your secret thoughts next day
Someone who asks for nothing
In return for friendship
But friendship itself
Someone who makes it
Just as easy to share sadness
As it is to share joy
I found that rare someone
When I found you
And like a precious memory
A friendship like ours is forever

The second goes here


Together we move
Together we play
Together we sing and march this way
We are the young ambassadors
Ambassadors of good will and peace
So let us love with love
Peace and harmony
Yes with harmony
Our pretty and dainty world
Into a heaven, heaven on earth.

Just a Christmas poetry learnt from my young son's book

twinkle twinkle little star

how I wonder what you are

up below the world high

like a diamond in the sky

I like that one.
How do you know it'Spring?
And how do you know it's Fall?
Suppose your eyes were always shut
And you couldn't see at all,
Could you smell and hear the Spring?
And could you feel the Fall?

Its something "special", I wrote it for someone "special"

Before your love
My life was a chess game
I must prepare for the next move
I never had a name
I was like a lost dove
Before your love

I spent my nights
Looking for you
I had never know
What I really do
Before your love

Things were similar
Roses had no smill
Even the blue sky
Had nothing to tell
Before your love

My nights became bright
my dream comes true
I felt that I can fight
When you said "I love you"

I love you

I appreciate your poem and it memories me my favorite poem named Hana Senesh

He who knows Love becomes Love, and he knows
All beings are himself, twin-born of Love.
Melted in Love's own fire, his spirit flows
Into all earthly forms, below, above;
He is the breath and glamour of the rose,
He is the benediction of the dove.

I love you.

I can do what I feel
I can feel what I do,
Who can make me free,
Only one "just you"

I love you

to support naar's good idear,i wrote a poetry :

I was thinking,

thinking where should I be,

 just live under parents,or let myslf be free.

I was strugling,

strugling for what should I be,

simplily lead a sustainable life,or make it freaky.

I was asking,

hope god will answer me,

god tell me just let it be.

I don't understand this meaning,

this answer can't meet me,

so I get out to pursue my dream.

Very nice "shia", I think that if everybody try to write what he feel, there will not be anybody "sad".
