To My King

So I came across this poem.  It is so good.  I really liked it alot.  I hope you will too.  :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To my King

Make me the princess You want me to be—
Try me by fire and help me stay true.
Only give me Your love, hold me close to Your heart;
Forever and always, my hope is in You!

I want to be Yours, Your daughter, Your star;
Heaven’s light, may it always shine in my eyes.
As I turn my heart toward You and Your love,
May my life be a beautiful sacrifice.

Awaken my heart with Your soft, calling touch:
May I see You each day as You open my eyes.
I will kneel at Your feet and pour out my praise
Because a poor, beggar girl You would not despise.

Breathe on me, make me live with Your life!
May I always show others the reason You came.
I give You my talents and all I possess,
I praise You, I love You, I lift up Your Name!
(R.J.S., December 28, 2005) 

Poems!

So I haven't updated in a little while.  But here are some more poems I have written. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Eagle (c) March 17, 2005
I climb up to the top
of the mountain.
When I get to the 
top I see a tree.
Up high in that tree
is a nest.
So I look inside the 
nest and in there
is the most beautiful
bird I've ever seen.
The bald eagle.
It's all brown except
for the top of it's head.  
The top of it is all snow white.
It's beak is bright yellow.
It's such an amazing site
and such a beautiful
bird-the eagle is.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Good Stuff (c) 2005 
Dad lettin' me get that
gray tabby kitten.
Taking walks with my mom
and great long talks.
That's the good stuff!
Yeah that's the good stuff.

Hanging out with friends.
Sharing lots of laughs.
Even some tears.
Makin' lots of memories.

That's the good stuff.
Yeah that's the good stuff.

Spendin' time with family.
Watchin' tv, playin games.
going out to eat or just shopping.
Spendin' all the holidays together.

That's the good stuff.
Yeah, that's the good stuff.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus,
please keep me safe.
Please hold me tightly
in your arms
and protect me from all around.
Please keep me safely in your arms.
Away from all the harms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jasper (C) November 22, 2006
He's my cat and best friend.
He listens to me no matter what.
Although he barely talks back,
which I guess is good.

He purrs when he's happy
and meows when he's
hungry or mad.
Or when he wants to be heard.

He runs hyper at times
all over the house
and makes funny sounds.
He makes me laugh all the time.

He loves to play
with all things really.
Jingle balls, paper rolls,
toy mice and more.

He's such a great cat
and so much more.  
He's like a best friend.
So he is my best friend.
And I love him so much.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Meadow # 3(C) November 25, 2006
As I'm walking down the road,
I pass alot of houses.
As I keep walking I see a toad
and a little furry mouse.

Once I get to the meadow I 
lay on the grass.
And I look up at the sky
and let the time pass.

I lay there and look
up at the clouds in the sky.
One looks like a book.
While another looks like a fly.

I watch the birds as they
fly above from tree to tree.
Then far in the distance I hear a horse neigh. 
Here in the meadow I feel so free.


In the distance I hear a loud boom,
so I get up and head
home to my room
and hide under the covers on my bed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Hope you enjoyed all my poems!!  <3!

More of the Story...

"Are you sure there wasn't any sound?"  asked Jayme.  "Yes, I was there.  I should remember what I heard, or rather what I didn't hear."  replied Alyssa,  "And I didn't hear anything.  It was very quiet.  It was..like I said very eerie."  "Oh, wow."  said Jayme, teasingly.  "Come on!"  yelled Alyssa, "Don't make fun of me!"  "Ooh, touchy are we."  said Jayme.  "Look, I don't want to be made fun of."  said Alyssa.  "I'm sorry."  said Jayme.  "It's ok."  said Alyssa,  "But I'm serious.  Something seemed odd this morning."  

They continued walking to Alyssa's house. Once they got there, they headed into the house and watched some tv.  Then after a little, Jayme headed home.  Alyssa set the table and then started to make supper for her mom and herself.  Her mom came home and changed into more comfortable clothes.

When her mom came downstairs, the two of them ate some supper.  Alyssa did the dishes. Her mom watched the news.  Then Alyssa sat down next to her mom.  "So how was your day?"  asked her mom.  "It was good.  How was your's?"  asked Alyssa.  "It was good."  replied her mom, "So what all did you do today?"  "Well, after you left, I ate breakfast and took a nap.  Then Jayme and I went running, swimming and then out to eat."  answered Alyssa.  "That's cool."  said her mom.

The next morning, Alyssa woke up early again.  She tried to fall back to sleep, but couldn't.  So she got up and started running.  She ran down the street and around the park.  Then she ran back the path into the woods.  She ran all the way to the picnic table and sat at the table.  Again it was eerily quiet.  There was no sound, nothing to be heard.  "This is too weird."  said Alyssa.  She got up and started walking to the park.  A branch cracked near by and she took off running to the park.  Once she got to the park, she slowed again to a walk.  She walked around the park.

The next afternoon, Alyssa and Jayme, along with Jayme's mom all went to Jensen's Tattoo Parlor.  They all looked through books of tattoo designs.  "Oh, I seriously like this one." said Jayme.  It was a black panther on a tree branch.  "That one is neat."  said Jayme's mom.  Alyssa looked.  "It is nice."  Alyssa agreed.  So Jayme told the tattoo artist she wanted that one.  So they went into a back room and Jayme started to get her tattoo.

"So are you going to get a tattoo?"  Jayme's mom asked Alyssa.  "No, I don't think so."  said Alyssa.  "Really?  You don't like them?"  asked Jayme's mom.  "No, it's not that.  I just don't like needles and also they are permanent.  So if I would ever decided I didn't want it anymore, well I am stuck with it."  answered Alyssa.  "Oh, well you know they do have lazer surgery to remove it."  said Jayme's mom.  "I know, but it's better not even have to go through the hassel."  said Alyssa.  "Yeah."  said Jayme's mom.  Alyssa felt out of place with Jayme's mom.  She felt like Jayme's mom sometimes didn't like her.  

When Jayme was done, the three of them headed to Ein's Diner.  Then later, Jayme and Alyssa hung out in Jayme's room.

More Story...

Ok..Here is more of my story!!  Enjoy!
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 When they got to Ein's Diner, they sat at a booth in the back.  They picked up the menu and was looking through it.  "So, you really going to dye your hair?"  asked Jayme,  "I think you would look so totally different."  "I know, but like I said.  I kind of want a new change.  Don't you want me to?"  asked Alyssa,  "What is so wrong with my dying my hair?"  "It doesn't matter to me. It's your hair."  replied Jayme,  "I just said, you would look so different with dark hair."  "Ok."  said Alyssa,  "Sorry."  "It's ok.  I am sorry too, how I said it."  replied Jayme.  "It's ok."  replied Alyssa.

"Hi, my name's Dani and I will be your waitress today.  Can I start you two out with a drink?"  asked Dani.  "Sure.  I'd like a raspberry ice tea."  said Alyssa.  "I'll take a Coke Classic."  replied Jayme.  "OK.  I will be right back with the drinks."  said Dani.  She headed off.  "So what are you doing to have?"  asked Jayme.  "I'm not sure."  replied Alyssa,  "How about you?"  "I think I will have the bacon cheeseburger and seasoned fries."  said Jayme.  "Cool.  I was thinking of the turkey and bacon wrap."  said Alyssa.  "Cool.  That does look good."  said Jayme.  Dani brought them their drinks.  "So are you two ready to order?"  she asked.  They ordered their food.  Then Dani headed off to give the cook their orders.  

They talked while they waited for their food to be made.  Then when the food came, they ate in silence for awhile.  "So how is it?"  Jayme asked after awhile.  "Very good."  answered Alyssa,  "How is your's?" "It's good too."  said Jayme.  "Good."  said Dani.  She overheard them as she was walking by.  Alyssa smiled.  "Do you need more drinks?"  asked Dani. "Sure."  they said.  She Dani brought them some new drinks.  They continued to eat and then when they were done they paid the bill.

"So I was running this morning."  started Alyssa,  "Around like 7 am.  And in the forest it was so quiet."  "It usually is."  said Jayme, laughing,  "I mean no one is really up that early."  "No, that's not what I mean.  I meant, there were no sounds at all.  No birds, squirrels, rabbits..nothing."  replied Alyssa,  "It was just so eerie."

Poetry time...

Ok..more poems!  Enjoy!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rain" (c) 10-9-2007
Rain Rain
come on down.
Cool off the land.
Tired of this heat.
Ready for some cooler weather.

We could use some rain
to turn the grass green
and water the rest of our garden.
Rain Rain
come on down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A Warm Fall Day" (c) 10-10-2007
Standing under an old green maple tree.
Noticing the sites and sounds.
Birds chirping here and there.
A lone cricket sounds in the distance.
And over the bank a lone purple flower is to be seen.
Also you can smell the fallen leaves
that are scattered here and there.  
And some are in a huge pile.
It's still very warm
like a summer's day.
Sun's shining bright
in the bright blue sky.
And clouds are here and there.
And a breeze blows
and feels so cool and refreshing.  
Jasper's laying in some
of the fallen leaves.
Just relaxin' and smellin' the air
on this warm fall day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Beggar" (C) 2-1-2008 (In Memory of Sunlight, our old cat).
Looking up at me
from the floor below.
She just sits there
and looks up at me
with her big wide yellow eyes.
Hoping I give her
something to eat or a
crumb falls on the floor. 
She had plenty to eat,
yet she still begs for more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A Peaceful Afternoon"(c) 7-24-2008
Trees so green
and grass too.
Gray clouds cover the sky,
threatening to open any minute
and have rain fall over all the land.
A gentle breeze blows
and the branches rustle back and forth.
Wind chime chimes music in the breeze.
Not much noise or sound to be heard.
Just a few birds chirping
and flying about.
A tractor sounds in the distance field.
It's a very quiet and peaceful day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you enjoyed all these.  :)

More of my Story

Ok..I figured I add some more story.  Enjoy.  :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her mom came in.  Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief.  "Mom, what are you doing here?"  asked Alyssa,  "Shouldn't you be at work?"  "Yes I am, but I forgot a folder here."  replied her mom,  "Why?  What's going on?"  Her mom was a secretary at the law firm.   "I was just wondering.  You scared me."  said Alyssa,  "I wasn't sure who was at the door."  "Ok."  said her mom,  "I didn't mean to scare you."  "It's ok."  said Alyssa.  "So what are you doing up so early?"  asked her mom.  "Couldn't sleep."  replied Alyssa.  "Did you go running?"  asked her mom.  "Yes."  replied Alyssa.  "Cool."  said her mom. Her mom got the folder from her office and then said bye to Alyssa.  Then headed back to work.  

Alyssa finished her breakfast.  Then laid back on the couch.  She fell asleep for a little.  The next time she woke up, it was after 11 am.  Her cell phone was ringing.  "Hello?"  asked Alyssa.  "Hi.  It's Jayme."  said Jayme.  Jayme Chamberlain is Alyssa's best friend.  She is also 16 years old.  "How are you?"  asked Jayme.  "I am doing good."  replied Alyssa.  "That's good."  replied Jayme.  "How are you?"  asked Alyssa.  "I am good."  said Jayme,  "So do you want to do anything today?"  "Sure, what do you have in mind?"  asked Alyssa.  "How about going for a run and then go swimming?"  asked Jayme.  "Sure."  said Alyssa.  "Ok.  I will be over in about twenty minutes."  said Jayme.  "Ok.  See you soon."  said Alyssa.  They then hung up.  

About 20 minutes later, Jayme was there. Alyssa locked the door and the two of them went running.  They ran down the street and then around the park.  Then they ran back to Alyssa's house.  They grabbed their bathing suits and towels and then headed down to the community swimming pool.  They headed into the locker room and changed into their suits.  Then put their towels on two lawn chairs.  After that, they jumped into the pool and started swimming.  "So I was thinking and then I talked to my mom.  She is totally cool with it."  started Jayme, pausing for effect.  Alyssa stared at her.  "What?"  asked Alyssa, curiously.  "I am going to get a tattoo."  replied Jayme.  "Oh, cool."  said Alyssa,  "Of what?"  "Not sure yet.  Maybe a flower or a butterfly."  said Jayme,  "Or maybe a black cat."  "A black cat would be cool."  replied Alyssa.  "Yeah.  You should come and get a tattoo with me."  Jayme said.  "No, thanks."  said Alyssa,  "I hate needles and not sure if I would like having a tattoo."  "Ok."  said Jayme, lazily.  "I was thinking of dying my hair."  replied Alyssa.  "Really?  I thought you liked being a blond."  asked Jayme,  "What color would you dye it?"  "Yeah, I do like blond, but I was thinking a change.  Maybe a dark brown color."  answered Alyssa.  "Oh wow.  You would look so different."  said Jayme,  "Why the sudden change?"  "I don't know.  I just wanted to try something new."  replied Alyssa.  "What does your mom think?"  asked Jayme.  "She said she would help me dye it, if I was serious about it."  answered Alyssa.  "Oh, wow."  said Jayme.  "And if I don't like it, it will grow out fast."  said Alyssa.  "Yeah."  said Jayme.


They swam some more and then tanned for awhile.  Then swam some more.  After that they dried off and changed back into their clothes.  Then headed to Ein's Diner.

Story Time

So I figured, since all I've been posting lately are poems..I'd share with you a story I have been writing on.  Please do not steal my work. Also everything is totally made up.  So if the names I use are anyone's, it's totally coincidence.  Thanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was an early summer morning in a little town called Treeville. 16 year old, Alyssa Blackwell was awake.  Alyssa is 5'5" and very skinny.  She was also athletic. She has long blond platinum hair and blue eyes. She had a nightmare and couldn't fall back to sleep.  So she decided to get up and go running.  She loved to run. She ran down the street and to the park.  She ran around the park and then down the path near the park and into the woods.  She jogged all the way back the path.  She loved going back here.  It was so peaceful and quiet.  Plus hardly anyone ever comes back here.  She jogged all the way back to the end of the trail.  It came out to a flat area with a picnic table.  She sat at the picnic table. She listened to the sounds, but it was unusually quiet.  No birds were chirping, no squirrels or chipmunks scurrying around.  Also no rabbits hopping.  "Weird."  thought Alyssa.  She sat there alittle bit longer, but again didn't hear anything.  It was starting to creep Alyssa out.  So she got up and started jogging to the park.  

All of a sudden, a branch snapped.  Alyssa stopped running and jumped.  She listened, but still couldn't hear anything.  So she continued on her way.  She was near the end of the trail, when another branch snapped.  So Alyssa quickly ran the rest of the way, but on the way out she tripped over something.  She looked down at her hands.  They were just red.  She looked at her legs and knees.  She cut her knees, but not too bad.  So she got up and brushed the dirt off her knees.  Then looked to see what she tripped over, but there was nothing there.  She listened once again and then quickly headed to the park.  It felt too strange there. Once she got into the park, she went to the bathroom and washed her hands and knees. Then sat down at a table to catch her breath.  

Later she headed home and cleaned her knees again with peroxide. Then she decided to grab some breakfast.  So she grabbed a packet of poptarts.  Then sat at the table and opened them and was out to eat them, when the back door handle started to turn and the door started to open.  Alyssa was scared.  Her mom was at work and her dad had left when she was little.  So who could it be at her door.  Alyssa quickly headed into the living room and watched the door from there. Then the door handle turned and the door opened.
