My oldest wrote this for a thing in school, I thought it was cool so I decided to share.....
You are the water in the pool,
And the floats for the kids in the pool.
You are the trees in the park,
And the grass in the fields.
You are the sun in the sky,
And the warm heat of the summer.
However you are not the vinegar on the PB and J sandwich,
And not the water on the carpet,
Or the soda on the rug.
It couldn't be possible that you are a gun in the classroom,
And you couldn't be the cheese in the freezer.
You might be the birds in the trees,
Maybe even the bugs under a rotting log,
But you could never be
The dress on a man.
Whenever you take a quick glance you will see,
That you are neither the plants in a windowless basement,
Nor the lake in the middle of the desert.
You most likely would like to know,
Speaking of things that belong and don't,
That I am the desks in the classrooms.
I also just happen to be the lights in the room,
The dumpsters in the alley,
And the clouds in the sky.
I am also the moon in a sky on a dark night,
And the field on the farm.
But don't worry; I'm not the water in the pool.
You are still the water in the pool,
And always will be the water in the pool,
And somehow yet some way you are the floats for the kids.
That is just awesome.
Awwww! :)
Do you know what it is wroten in reference to? Or (s)he said it was "free writing" ?
I like it
Actually the title is also what it was supposed to be about. It's my son, so I guess I was more impressed that this came from a 15 yr old guy mind than anything else.... If that makes sense. almost every project or paper he has ever done has been about sports, or things they suspend you for, so this was a "happy mom moment" for me!
"And you couldn't be the cheese in the freezer"
That's the best thing I've heard all day. Made me smile. :)
