Roses are red Violets are blue You love me I love you
First a smile Then a wink And a giggle – So you think, What’s this really all about Seem you shirt is insideout
We like sports Basketball, Football, Soccer They are fun We have fun Car bloody slave It is exercise Throw For the body Push Makes us happy Run We use balls Fly, escape, nonfiction! Throw catch kick It was a‌. Down set hut Dribble cross shot The boy ran We like sports
Today I’m jealous I learned everything Now I’m happy Today I understand Jealousy is nothing Just be yourself!
Violets are red Flowers are blue I’ve detected aode Before the day I did not stay After all It’s my hay - Nation
I MAY TELL BUT YOU STILL DON’T KNOW SO I WON’T TELL OR LET IT SHOW I’LL SHOW FEARS I’LL SHOW DREAMS BUT YOU’LL NEVER REALLY UNDERSTAND ME -AERIS
In the night a cloud came And it called my name He showed me the world The hate and evil Hide me I looked away The cloud told me to stay -MP
The blue sky has come tonight With the stars that are bright as the sun They stand eternally
Life is like a box of Nice tasting chocolates That’s been opened just for you and your family It’s sometimes nice, but not always It’s sometimes bitter, but not always It’s sometimes new, but not always.
EMOTION HAPPINESS Running through flowers Feeling no hours There is warmth A golden sun having good fun I see happiness I feel joy I feel emotions
The frog hopped high Upon the motionless cloud The bird flew over The ocean with her mate
I can be I can see The vibrant colors Bright and clear I can achieve I know that I can be
The blue sky Has come tonight With the stars That are bright As the sun They stand eternally But they go In the morning
In the night a cloud came And it called my name He showed me the world The hate and evil Hide me I looked away The cloud told me to stay -MP
