Students Poems of Gratitude and Beyond Family There are very many things and people to be thankful for. One of them is family, they re there to keep your Heart full of joy and warmth, and the best part is, that no matter what you do, they will love and comfort you, and when you have a time in life full of grief and strife they will bring comfort to you.

My prayer For Thanks to God Dear God; Lord in Heaven, I m thankful for you helping me along, Even though you have given me the Greatest gift of all; Sometimes you give me Unanswered prayers And I don t hear your voice I hear your angels sweet melody Of their harps, trumpets, and French horns Even though I can t see them; When you answer my prayers You answer them with nature, Thy brisk wind is you breathing Thy snaking water is your words of wisdom So I am very thankful for your words of wisdom; Your great gifts; And more importantly giving me my life Thank you Amen.

North Carolina 90 degrees, summer time Waves bashing on shore Surfers coming in fast 40 foot waves 30 feet out 3 feet deep Boogie board under waves God put me where I belong In North Carolina 40 degrees fall season Pine trees turn orange God put me where I belong In North Carolina 50 degrees during wintertime No snow every single year Boats come in to play God put me where I belong In North Carolina 80 degrees, springtime Baseball begins Competition has returned Hats pulled down A/C s turned up Good luck God put me where I belong In North Carolina As the sun came up the first day of the season all was silent and many shots all around, just waiting for a deer to pass, birds flying over head, squirrels scattering around in the leaves, leaping all around. About 5:00 p.m. all was silent and all was well, sat there for a few hours alert and ready for anything that comes this way, the wind was calm, and the sun was going behind the hills very slowly. Until it was about the time to get ready to go home I look over and notice a deer approaching from the left of us, I let the buck get in the clearing and made a grunt noise it stopped, I put the sights on the deer and bang, bang, bang the deer went down, We were so significantly grateful for the first deer of the season we both got together.

Gratitude The bright snow fell and made light to the Earth The plains were growing with grandiloquent beauty, Snow floated down onto the ground, impacting the earth nearly infinite The light illuminates over the snow Giving its glorious color, white. But there was something with great quality of this color. I am glad for snow. Da-da-da de Music is the magic of different types of optimistic or sadistic language for a person to listen to. It gives the listener pristine emotion. Music swiftly and gently walks around, picking up people. Music raises people s gratitude and spreads the ideas and imagination of a human s mind, to uncover how vast the imagination world actually is in such a species that was so lucky to be on a habitable planet. Music is amazing. I have education, so very lucky But why don t others have education? I decided to learn as much as I can to gain knowledge from education, the brain was meant for education, To discover. To learn across the vast Universe itself. To discover if the Universe is infinite, To discover the cure of cancer, To discover the most unanswered questions in the history of humanity, Even the smallest amount of education can lead to the most powerful answers. Nature is everything. The wonders of nature and the infinite amount of snow structures music in every corner, taking your attention and giving yourself with great gratitude or dispiriting moments in life. For education being the greatest thing a human can hold in its hands, many people do not have education and some have died without knowledge. Education must be deserved. But still, nature is absolutely beautiful. And I am grateful. Gratitude Radiates: I am grateful for this moment, Sitting here, Peaceful quiet, The fog through the window, The trees blowing, The grass frozen, Snow coming down making the ground white, I am grateful for My teacher Tina, Helping with words, I am grateful for The trees of Mother Nature blowing back and forth, A little hint of blue shining in the sky, Now peaceful.

I walk along the banks of the river the flow of the rapids telling me the stronger fish are there swimming and scavenging for something to eat as I cast the lure hits the water and pulls my line I feel a big tug and I set the hook the fight starts the rod bends pulling me toward the watery grave I yank the hook and a fish jumps it was a monster I reel the sight of the fish is refreshing I reel closer and closer until it is in my hands I walk and through the trees I see a old friend it was a deer it is a ways away but still it seems like it was three feet away it gracefully ran and more followed it was amazing I didn t have a bow but I didn t want one it was a gift of its own watching until they were gone trees all around me in the forest I walked not to hunt but for the satisfaction of nature its self I walk on further and further I see tree stands and old pipe lines until I reach a patch of oaks they seemed different graceful almost I stopped a deer ran jest to my right and animals emerged from hiding and I saw the true wilderness waiting in the woods gun in lap just waiting and I walk slowly down the hill and sit two chipmunks emerge and frolic on the fallen trees no worries just fun then a weary red squirrel comes lurking as if when its seen its cover is blown it waits and finally starts to come out and lets go of all struggles and turn into a little kid and brightens the mood of everyone in the woods Gratitude I express my gratitude To music for empathy That it provides and the Sweet sound in my Ear. I express my gratitude to A family that loves me Tenderly that cares for And provides for me. The shelter and food my Family provides and for The warm bed I have, I Think about the People who Don t Travel, for being able To see the world and

The night sky Where all of The dead Watch you The great Beasts make Our constellations Leo the Lion and Many others But you may find One of your long Past members of your Family, or a loved one

In the night sky, A comet flies through Like a falcon Zooming through the Open daylight The comet leaves A trail of dust While the falcon Leaves a trail of feathers As the night sky fades And the daylight turns dark The Binding of the Soul The Story of Dreams A lost dream Considered dead Still sparkles Beneath the ruin of the mind Its host still doubting That the dream still shines For it was lost Scattered through time But the dreams still reigns Burning like a star Rising out of the darkness Into the core of the mind Disbanding any doubt Dismissing any despair, Ripping through the cold Warming the soul Taking control of the mind Resurrecting what was lost Returning the wonder Bringing light to the dark The host in disbelief Of the sudden event As his final dream remained Shimmering like a jewel. And over the years The dream defended From the invading doubt Reaching out to opportunity The simple dream Started small Now it radiates warmth Into the soul.

When Eyes Get Heavy When eyes get heavy Like an anchor sinking to the bottom of the ocean And your imagination runs wild As if it were a mighty steed Floating on a cloud in a parade in paradise The music plays as if diamonds could sing While you are in a wondrous state of mind Nothing can phase you Tired of standing still You want to fly free All is bundled up tight As if it were a newborn at night This is where the unthinkable can be thought Just don t think too hard It s not impossible The world stands still As you move fast The world isn t greater than you And you re not greater than it Nothing is light Nothing is dark All is as it is When your eyes get heavy Neither is found The Soul is dark Helpless. Filled with regret Resentment. Though the Mind Is filled with wonder Perseverance. Determination. The Mind strives To obtain the Soul While the Soul hungers To corrupt the Mind. The forces reign Pulling free Bathed in light Forcing forward

The force collides Wrapping together Creating a bond Like intertwined rope They create a dream To decide their fate They plant it deep In the depths of the mind. The dream burrows deep As the twined forces fade And the Binding of the Soul And Mind dissipates. The Clock The clock ticks waiting, Waiting for the hands to strike twelve, For when the time is midnight, Dreams soar through the air. The clock is waiting, Waiting for the kids to dream, The dreams of being whatever they aspire to be, Some want to change the world, Change the world to make peace and grace, To make the world a better place. The clock still ticks, Waiting for the dreams of those kids to come true, But while he s waiting, Other dreams become reality. The clock watches the kids, Watching them grow old, He keeps watching, Watching until their dreams are true. The clock still waits, Waiting for more kids come, When more kids come, More dreams come true. Dreams of life awaken you, Through the powerful journeys of Day light. When the sky is blue and so many dreams are upon you! Life is a journey through the darkness of the light,

And dreams are more Powerful than one simple word, and when the sun rises All I think about is DREAM! Dreams of life are full of dark pain, yet filled with greatness. When the sun shines bright, All of you dreamers can rise high mimicking the sun! The sun shines so bright, With your face so white, You can feel the hot sun On that clean white face of yours, And when life is a dark path, You just have to breathe in the clean air And then rise up As if you re flying in the sky. So if you believe you can All you have to say Is DREAM! Dreams, Dreams, Dreams of life Are full of greatness through the night. If you think of a dream You probably would say It is just one simple word, But no, a dream is a powerful sign of happiness, And when the sun shines on you, As if there is a Spotlight hanging high above, and when Dark comes light, the one word that can make a Difference in our lives is DA dream is Something Like glass It can Get Shattered By reality You need to follow Your dream what Is your dream Mine is to change The world

The Dream Book That book That you read That calms You down Almost like it Takes those Nightmares That you are afraid Will become A reality And closes them up Forever, And Ever. Hunting is fun, you get a gun and a bow Click click, bullet in the chamber Ready for Thanksgiving Gutting a turkey, washing it out Stuffing it and baking, it smells good The click click, sounds good The bang, the sound of the gobble The thud, the sound of the Kiki run The woods, they smell good The fields so empty, they make you go crazy You see a tom or Jake pull back release Pull the trigger, release the arrow Very happy when you see one drop Opening day to gun hunt November 15 The venison on the grill The venison smells good
