The best time of the year

The birds are singing oh so sweet! 
 The magic in the air is oh so neat!  
Theres nothing like it, it can’t be beat!
 Cause spring is here, best time of the year

You lay out on the grass and sigh,
As you watch the clouds so way up high,
 And you never ask or wonder “why”
 Cause spring is here, best time of the year

And the breeze blows by and your hair’s pulled up, 
You drink lemonade out ‘a your favorite cup! 
And everythings perfect, just enough. 
Cause summers here, best time of the year.
Friends hang out, and toss a ball, 
Running free, and feeling tall,
Break the limits lift off, don’t fall 
Cause summers here, best time of the year!

Leaves fall down from off the trees, 
Hear the humming of the bees 
Carving out the pumpkin seeds,
 Cause autumns here, best time of the year!
Corn mazes and getting lost,
On the grass in the morning there is a frost, 
A handful of leaves, in the air tossed! 
Cause autumns here, best time of the year!

Winter coats and boots and hats,
 Snow is covering the grass, 
Christmas lights, a glittering mass, 
Cause winters here, best time of the year!
No matter what season it is,
Warm or hot or cold it tis,
Don’t stress about it, adults and kids, 
Cause you are here, in the best time of the year! 

-Dassia

Rocks

Sometimes life picks up a rock
And chucks it at you, really hard.
It blows you back, you might fall down,
Don't let it keep you on the ground.

Take those rocks, build something strong.
Don't let them trip you one by one.
Use them as your stepping stones.
Not stumbling blocks that break your bones.

There will be pain, there will be fear.
And it's okay to shed some tears.

But don't get stuck inside your head.

Be doing something good instead.

Lift up your eyes, look at the light.

Be grateful that the sun is bright.

See your family all around,

Serve them and love will be found.

Love is hope, and you can see

That love will spread quite rapidly,

Don't let those rocks get in the way

Build with them, a brighter day.
