Favorite Sayings

I know I usually write poems but I want to share some of my favorite sayings. A few of them I made up, so if you're confused just as me, and I'll explain, but here's the list of them.

• Live Life to the fullest
• Don't do what you love, love what you do
• mistakes are good, you learn from them
• friends are more important than $money$
• whoopsie doodle!
• If you know somethings wrong, take it upon you to make it right
• Don't rock your world, make your world ROCK
• The true meaning of friendship... isn't just one thing. It's MANY.
• Beauty's in the eye of the beholder
• a pictures worth a thousand words
• make a wish
• being perfect isn't everything, especially if you hate it
• all is fair in love and war!
• True friends are hard to find but when you find one, you sure are lucky!

Okay this one's one I made up, so I''l explain it so you don't get confused

I wrote an earlier poem called the puzzle of your life, and this refers to that. Here's the phrase first:

In the puzzle of your life, if one of the pieces doesn't fit, chuck it out the window. It means nothing to you.

I was referring to say a friend that you realized didn't really like you, or were using you, then you have to ignore them and move on with your life, so forget about them, and keep moving. So pretend they are a puzzle piece or something, and just through them out the window
( not literally of course) but you get the idea.

Thanks

The Willow Tree

I wrote this, oh so long ago, and I just remembered I haven't posted this, so this is here for you.

The Willow Tree

Down by the creak, the willow lies,

peacefully resting it's leaves. Its long, long thoughts

brush into the water making the water glow. All of the

animals, the birds, bees, and fish all come near to

figure out what this is. This magical moment fills through the night, waiting upon something to come.

It leaves hunch and fall into the water, waiting, simply waiting for something. Then when the sun rises, high into the sky, the willow wakes up, and begins her day, fulfilling all of her duties that need to be done. And of course each task was given to her superior, the high, all mighty God. She does each task without a complaint, for she knows without her, many creatures would lose all that they had: a home, a shelter, and a friend.

The everlasting war

A few nights ago, maybe three, or possibly two, anyways, a few nights ago, I discovered I had an I-dog, a gift from a friend a few birthdays ago. It kept me up ALL night, so I decided to write. I was too lazy to get up, to my notebook where I keep all my poems, so I began to write on my Ipod touch, something I have based upon the shore of the beach on my recent vacation there last week.

The Everlasting war

The waves crash onto the morning shore

The rocks and the waves are at each other once again

Fighting to see which gets to stay on the shore

The rocks defense is to stand still, completely rooted in the sand.

The waves however, are constantly on offense trying to get the rocks to move

This goes on all day, and all night

And into the morning

When the sun rises the next day

The rocks are still standing

They had won this battle.

The waves became angry and begin to strike once again

But each side never got tired

And the war continued to last

FOREVER
