Through My Eyes By: Kaela Curtis
What is the mind? But a multipurpose tool That the teachers insist Is necessary for school. What is the mind? But a vast open space Filled with ideas That urge you to pace. What is the mind? But a thought on a whim Made by the scientists Who discovered the wind. What is the mind? But a light speck of dust That tells you what you can't do And what you must. What is the mind? But a creator of fear An emotion out of control With no way to steer. What is the mind? But the wisdom of days That you can lean on To show you the way.

The Mind
The World of Gymnastics
Vault The Vault that stands so proud and tall Sometimes an obstacle Sometimes a wall The gymnast who flies over it with ease The gymnast who runs into it with her knees.
Bars The long wooden poles and metal supports By far the strictest event in the sport The gymnast connecting from low bar to high. The gymnast that can't seem the grasp the bar right.
Events in place They begin the race To see who can flip With the outmost grace And only one champion Can be crowned above all The gymnast who stumbled But did not fall
Beam The 4 inch wide wooden log High in the air Or low in the bog The gymnast with the precision of a diamond stud. The gymnast who falls right off with a thud. http://vocaroo.com/i/s03CsyvJSt8l Recording
Floor The soft and bouncy floor Filled with the freedom of an open door The gymnast who flies like a bird in the sky. The gymnast who falls with a terrible cry.
One Thing I Can Say One thing I can say about knowledge. It is endless. One thing I can say about fear. It can be conquered. One thing I can say about hope. It is still here. One thing I can say about pain. It will end. One thing I can say about peace. It will come. One thing I can say about darkness. It can be lit. One thing I can say about love. It is stronger than hate. One thing I can say about hate. It is weaker than love. One thing I can say about truth. It is always there. One thing I can say about war. It will cease. One thing I can say about life. It goes on.
