For a Friend

I just wanted to thank my amazing friend Dassia for the example and friend she's been to me. Her rasillience and love for the gospel can't help but touch the lives of everyone she meets. :)

Colorful, shining, happy friend.

I've never heard her once offend.

Good example, always kind.

Friends like these are hard to find.

Her potential, fully living.

Super sweet and always giving.

Humble servant of the Lord.

Dear to all, frankly adored.

Seeking truth and doing right.

A beacon of the brightest light.

A loving heart, a smiling face

A being of God's cleansing grace.

An open mind and willing hands.

Accomplishing the Lords commands.

Beautiful friend, I want you to

Know that I, a friend, love you!

A birthday party I'll write s'more for you!

Hurry hide behind this big tree,
I think he is coming Is that who I see,
Lets sneak around like spies and wait for them to notice,
I think they already did, they are pointing at us,

Ninjas here! Run run run,
And good news, she brought her gun!
This party is so much fun!
And goodies too yum, yum, yum.

I will eat this in one whole bite,
Trust me, that was quite a fright,
And these things too, like flowers in hair,
That too did give me a scare,

Then have another cupcake,
BAM! In his eye?!?
I am sure he felt like,
He was ready to cry,
(because who would want frosting,
in there eye?!)

We play some missionary tag,
Which was kinda tricky,
Boys like the girls chasing them?!?
That is very icky.

I don't feel so good,
Kaiden what did you do?
To those perfectly yummy yum yum,
Perfect delish, food?

Lets go see the water fall!
And although it's not that high,
We can slide down it,
If only we try,

We did that for a while,
I held all they're things,
Nic got his blood on Josee,
The birds scattered with there wings,

That's all I think you want to know,
About that crazy day,
But don't worry,
There is still more to say:

Rrrring! Rrrring!
Hello? Were at your house!
Really? Oh were at yours,
Stay right there, that's your chore!

Finally were all,
Going to the right place,
At the same time,
Were drifting off into space,

TWC was so much fun!
TWC yum yum yum,
But Ninja threw away chocolate,
Is that a sin? Not one bit! (yes it is)

We got prizes and learned about writing,
Everything was very exciting,
I want to write more and more,
For no longer has it any bore.

A Birthday Party!

 Here is a little glimpse of all the crazy-ness that happened at our friends birthday party a few days ago. :)

With missionary tag,
And trying not to gag,
As people stuff their faces.

With cupcakes in eyes
And all sorts of lies,
And many many disgraces!

With spinning around,
On the thing that we found,
We call it the spin-y thing,

With walking along,
And singing a song,
As we swing swing swing.

With splashing around
As we try not to drown,
As we get really soaked,

With long board stealing,
And a sneaky feeling,
As we get teased and poked.

With having tons of fun,
As we play in the sun,
Our friendships makes me say: YAY!

With all these things
And the moments we bring,
My smile can widen, each day.

Thankful that I have the best

My feelings are hard to describe right now,

But I'll try to tell you them, anyhow.

I'm blessed with many things you see,

For this country, in which I am free.

I'm blessed with my family, religion and,

My talents, and homeschooling (which is very grand)

This week I went to girls camp,

And although the grass was kinda damp,

We Built on our testimonies,
Which stands for BOOT camp true,
Everyone can build there knowledge,
And stand for righteousness too,

But of all the things I'm grateful for,
I don't know how else to describe,
I'm thankful for a ninja girl,
My friend whose by my side,

She knows what I like what I do what I see,
She shows me how to go, do and be,
She is exactly what I need,
My best example to succeed!

On Mondays at Family home evening,
She teaches me how to love,
She teaches me how to pray,
To our God above,

On Tuesdays she teaches me,
Responsibility,
And musical talents,
With piano planets!

On Wednesdays of old,
She taught me how to glow,
And to shine and do more,
Master class was never bore!

But Wednesdays of today,
She shows me how to play,
With everyone of our age or not,
And kindness never to fought,

Thursdays was art where she showed me,
How to take beauty and arise and be,
An artist of colors and beauty,
She is such a cutie!

Fridays she would show me how to sing,
With flying colors and blend,
She would sing with the beauty of the whole choir,
Happiness she would send,

Special Saturday service and,
Swimming, games which were just grand,
We'd still have our fun of course,
Everyday fun at a fun source,

Sunday we see each other,
At hymns, hymns and M's,
This is why I am so glad,
I have a ninja friend!

She teaches me so much you see,
No matter where we are,
She is the very best friend I have,
The very best by far.

Can you see why?
I hope you will try,
And I hope that each of you,
Will have a very special friend,

Who loves you,
Very true.
Just as I,
Love each of you.
-Dassia :D

Playmate

This last week our good friend Snickerdoodle left on a trip. And so I wrote this poem, because I miss her. Of course this can apply to others but right now... I miss you!...(and don't eat any mushrooms!)

We run we skip we laugh we talk as happy as can be,

We hide and ride, and have a good time, as we scurry up a tree.

Friends we are as you can see,

Best friends, and will forever be,

And when were sad or need a lift,

Our other friend will give a gift,

Of their time and help them up,

Until they feel good enough,

How fun it is that we can say,

We see each other everyday!

But when one friends goes away,
The fun drops out day by day,

We still have a little fun,

While in the sky, crawls the sun,

But still we miss our special friend,

Don't worry we'll see them around the bend,

For another week there always is,

Full of fun. Yes it 'tis

And while we endure this time apart,

I know that we can always start,

More inside jokes and candy books,

And care free times playin in brooks,

Poofy trees and trustworthy poles,

As we climb in and out of holes,

Our inside jokes,

Too many to name,

When were apart,

It's never the same,

When were together,

It's nothing but fun,

Replacing this friend,

Just can't be done!

Parting is such sweet sorrow,

From each other we borrow,

We say good bye,

But never cry,

For next week next month, next day,

Another day to say hey,

And be the best of friends you see,

And color on stuff with sidewalk chalk

Miss you friend next time when,
We run and skip and laugh and talk.
-Dassia :D

Rain Oh, Rain-bow!

Today we had a great day at the Bates house when it started to rain and the a beautiful rainbow came out!

First all day it is HOT HOT HOT!
Then all of a sudden it's NOT NOT NOT!
When we drag our-self's all over the stage,
And beat upon Dromio with rage!

But then the park and service,
We walk home the sun setting nigh,
We say Now! Now will it rain?
With all these clouds in the sky?

Boom! Thunder!
Hooray we shout,
It will rain after all!
Of course no doubt!

Slowly slowly it starts to trickle,
Down comes the rain,
Then faster and faster until we all,
Are rolling around insane!

Then we smile at each other,
Each sister and brother,
It's raining the best day of my life
Not a single worry, care, or strife!

Hurrying to save an animal and other random stuff,
We laugh and run and trip, onto the ground so ruff
Then hurry hurry we quickly run back onto the lawn,
Then in awe a rainbow there, no rain it all has gone,

Instead there stands
A rainbow grand,
It's beauty what
 a splendor and....

 It's all for us a gift from God
 How very blessed we are,
He loves us all so very much
Were special much by far!

Colorful, brilliant, bright!
Breathtaking! Such delight!
Beautiful, magical, good!
Over us like a hood.

All the way across the sky,
Like a half moon in the night,
But in the sunshine bright,
Oh, so full of light!

Heaven's highway it seems.
Like something in a dream...
To slide on it would be
So, fine, so fun, so free!

The colors weave together,
So well with each other.
So perfect, pretty, peaceful
So wonderful and wishful!

It's like the word wonder
In a ribbon of color!

We stand there in awe!
what a sight to have saw!
A magnificent glorious,
Rainbow!

The Best Creation of All!

Yesterday we had a fun time at the park together and we found these poofy trees the snickerdoodle loves so much! We took some pictures and I had to share!!

Marshmallow, pop corn, cotton balls,

Slowly sweetly, each petal falls,

Slowly gliding to the ground.

Falling all, us around.

Poof poof poofy! I love these awesome trees!

Poof poof poofy! Floating in the breeze,

The only problem with them is your allergies!

In that case all they do is make you sneeze and sneeze!

 There poof poof poofy! 

I want to squeeze them tight.

Poof poof poofy!

They are poofy pretty and white!

With all these trees around me am I in Heaven?

All of these trees all five, six or seven,

Have I fallin' into a cloud, or in something silky smooth,

Just the way the petals fall gently carefully move.

On a beautiful day such beautiful trees,

With no care in the world we just do as we please,

What a beautiful moment to share together,

With a warm day, what perfect wether!

Petals falling all around us,

A river flowing through,

A hidden trail and after all,

A perfect day, I'm with you!

-Dassia

Two Moons

Two girls, two moons,
In two different rooms,
Same thoughts same way,
Though apart, still away.

Writing same words,
Smiling same smiles,
Making same prezi,
Chatting all the while!

Somehow connected,
Never rejected,
Friends Forever,
Enemy's NEVER!

Reading minds,
Until they find,
Same stuff & groups!
Same breakfast fruit loops!

"How are we connected?" they say
"Why is we do the same things everyday?"
Because of the moons we ware 'round our necks?
"I wonder" they say "yes! I bet"

These special silver moons,
That reflect in the light,
Connect us everywhere!
That doesn't seem quite right!

And yet it is so,
Nun and Gypsy know,
No matter distance
With ease and quickness

We are connected.
