Glass Heart Such deceiving words that are said but those sweet words just left her heart shattered. Words that should’ve been left unsaid He just gives her attention and pretends that they’re better together. In reality, none of that was real. All of that was just for fun because he was too bored. For him it was all make-believe, but for her it was so special. She gives meaning to every little thing that he has done. She just expected too much and just fell for him. She can’t handle the pain because it was unbearable for her. Brain told her to stop, but her heart says “go and love him” and that happened. Her heart became so scared and so afraid to fall for someone again. She’s just too scared to be broken again. Her tears just went straight to her lungs that makes hard for her to breath. Her friends just stayed right by her side most of the time and told her to be open to whatever comes next.
Mysterious Stran He really did look like a tourist, with a camera in his neck and a bottle of sunscreen sticking out of his tote bag. The tall man sat on the terrace, sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a glossy cruise brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn’t looking at the brochure: he hadn’t turned a page for the last ten minutes. As I brought him his clam chowder, he coughed up a “thank you” and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow. I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place him. Then it hit me. The car accident.The mysterious stranger who helped me out of my smashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table.
He was gone. I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply indebted to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a mall there. Saving your life brought things back in perspective. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. God bless you! I shivered. The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in a shady dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my life around and brought faith back into my life. I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand with a pen mark underlining “In God We Trust.” I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.

A Father and Son Stor In the village of Happy Land, there lived a boy that does not have any parents. No one ever loved him. No one ever tried to be friends with him. His name is Ernest. One day, a dog approached Ernest. Oh! What a cute dog you are, Ernest stated. Are you lost boy? Ernest asked. Ernest found a collar on the dog. Ernest saw a name written on the collar, ‘Love’. “So that’s your name? From now on I will call you love,” Ernest stated. Love and Ernest played everyday. For the first time, Ernest felt happy. Ernest smiled. Ernest began to wonder
if Love has an owner. He began to feel worried that the day would that Love’s true owner would take him back. He got scared and became over protective for Love. One day, a wolf attacked Love in his sleep. Love got badly injured. Ernest took Love to the nearest veterinarian. Love got a total of 18 scratches in his body. Love can’t do anything but howl because of the pain. Two hours later, the vet came out of the room and went to Ernest. “How is my dog?” Ernest asked. “He is going to be okay,” the vet replied. “Ernest, I am curious about
ry that dog because he looks like the missing dog of the mayor,” the vet added. The vet handed the poster the the mayor posted for the missing dog. Ernest got depressed because he has to do the right thing. The next morning, Ernest went to the mayor’s office to return Love to his rightful owner. When the mayor saw Ernest, the mayor yelled “SON ?”. Ernest got confused because he never met his parents. The mayor approached Ernest and said, “son is that you?” Ernest said, “I am sorry sir but I do not have any parents.” “Then why did you come here?” the
mayor asked. “I only went here to return Love, your dog sir,” Ernest replied. “Did Love came to you without any reason?” the mayor asked. “Yes sir,” Ernest answered. “Then you really are my son. I sent Love to look for my long lost son and posted the posters hoping Love would return with my son. Love came back many times with different people who saw the poster,” the mayor stated. For almost 5 years, I finally found you. The mayor stated with tears going down his eyes. After that day the mayor, Ernest, and Love live together happily.
A Grandparents Love It seems like only yesterday Our lives were just beginning. Your love for us never failed, Our hearts continually mending.
You have pointed out the path And led us along the way; The wisdom you have planted, We each still hold today.
It is strange to watch the time fly Before our very eyes, Which reminds me of the blessing, That we have you in our lives.
You sheltered us through childhood And saw us through today, Taught us of the Lord above, About faith, and how to pray.
To have yet to feel the touch That’s as gentle as your hand The closeness of our family One could never understand.
One day we’ll all be in heaven Dancing on the throne, Praising God for giving us A family like we’ve never known.
As each of our lives Continue to change, Reflections of your love In each of us remains.
No matter where our lives may go, We will trust the Lord above And through it all always thank him for our grandparents’ love.
