Thoughts About Life By Carson Baker
Ode to the Weekend The plush feathers sitting inside the comfy leather couches, Warm blankets keeping the cold away. Food there to entertain and fill hunger; Watching a few good episodes of tv with Netflix to bring everything together Or you could go outside, feeling the warm sun beat against you; Reading a book, or playing a sport. Relaxing, enjoying the sun. Then going in for cold refreshments. Or you could hang out with friends, The laughter of everyone filling you with a warm feeling. Doing crazy things together; Not being lonely, but with the best Or maybe some vacation time, Going to the beach with your family. Or traveling up to the mountains to go skiing; But just being with the ones who love you. Oh weekend, how everyone loves you. Enjoying some free time away from school, Relaxing and enjoying having nothing to do Oh weekend, how we love you.
The Battle of Life Life not a race, not a journey, But a battle. A battle, A lot like a war. Everyone competing; For love, for knowledge, and for happiness. Everyone having to make decisions Whether it is for the best; or for the worst. Growing up, Changing each and every year. Everyone facing challenges, that are difficult. Reaching for their goals. Having to work to be the best; Accomplishing tasks never thought by anyone else. But still a battle; Everyone working and competing to be the best they can be.
The Fun I Had When I Was Six Oh, I'd give anything to be six again, I'd have fun with anything, even a pen. I could do all the things I ever wanted, And not get punished or haunted. I could draw on the walls, Or go to Niagara Falls Skip down a street, And when eating not have to be neat. Oh, I wish I could be six so I would have no hurries. I'd feel free, with no worries No homework to worry about; I'd have so much fun that’s no doubt But too bad we can't travel back in time But I would pay anything to, even a dime.
