Aishu's Poems

--------------------------------

Like a blanket of silk

the snow flakes fall to the ground

with its touch of beauty

and the softness of its sound

------------------------

The shells on the beaches

are all different shapes and sizes

just like people of the earth

-------------------------

Leaves hit the ground

not a sound in the air

just the birds flying from tree to tree

with not even a care

-------------------------

The kids go door to door

in their mysterious costumes

stuffing their goodies bags

for the holiday has come

and the joy will last

at least till the candy does

---------------------------------

Going to the big green tree

to find the key to our joy

on this holiday of happiness

it is the day of toys

when little boys and little girls are waiting for their presents

for it is Christmas

and the holiday of rejoicing

-------------------------

In a person's life they go through happiness

sorrow and hatred

for those who only go through sorrow and hatred

can still somehow show happiness on their faces

in this world there are people

who get everything they desire

but yet not a single smile shows upon their face

----------------------------

Some days the clouds are as puffy as cotton balls

other days they are as wispy as feathers

but today the sky was as clear as a sparkling steam

----------------------------------------------

A highway is a long road

and can separate into many other roads

just like a person's life

you just need to know which one to go

through to find your destination.

----------------------------

Sitting in the family room

listening to the radio

the news says a storm is coming

one that might last a day or two

I am curled in a ball in the corner or the room

just hoping my parents are fine

sitting home alone on this stormy night

waiting for them to come back

I close my eyes and listen to the wind blowing outside

---------------------------

I lay in my bed

it is 8:00 am

the sunlight hits my face

and I quickly move ,

my eyes shut in an instant

then I feel a shake

I open my tired eyes to see who it was

my mom standing there in awe

for I was late for school

------------------------

There is a fire on my street

no one was hurt

everyone is staring at the firemen taking down the fire

I stand there seeing memories being destroyed

for the house that was crashing to the ground

was mine

-------------------------------------------

On days that are quiet you feel safe and warm

but the day soon will come were everyone will wonder

am I the one

the one who will lose their home

the one who will lose their family

all I can do is watch my friends go through the horror

the horror of the war

---------------------------------------

The wind blowing through my hair

while I walk down the path

it is like the wind is trying to stop me

stop me from going on

so was this the wrong path

should I turn back

but then again this is not a regular path

it is the one that has to do with life

what should I do

listen to the people around me

or what I believe in

-------------------------------------

Thanksgiving is a time of thanks

a time of family

but what about those how don't have a family

this is the time of year to help those people

give them a memory they can hold on to

forever

-------------------------

The first snow of the winter

falling soft and gently

with grace in every sway

till it hits the ground

where it will stay

---------------------------------------

I stepped into my house

the feeling of coziness flooded my mind

a batch of warm, soft cookies were sitting next to a

cup of hot,milky,cocoa

which was filled to the brim

I sat down and stared into the fire

feeling happy

knowing I was lucky

lucky to have

a home

friends

and most of all

a family.

-------------------------------

In dreams you can see happiness

you can all so see sadness

what ever the dream

you must remember

it is your choice if you want it to happen

or not

-------------------------------------------------

Walking through a storm is a very hard task

but there is only one other task that is harder

and that is

going through

life

--------------------------------

Enjoy every minute

every second as well

but never regret

any part of you life

because you know that part is done

there is no way to turn back

but there is one thing you can do

be ready for a challenge

so you can do better

and most of all

as a reminder

always enjoy

life
