I am going to post all my poetry from the past in this one topic section and all my new stuff as it comes by itself. I just want to give you the background of my poetry.

American Flag
American Flags wave through the polluted air
But I am clean as can be
Full of the pride thats washin over me
My American Pride
Makes me shiver inside


America... Where have you been?
Until this day
Where has your pride hidden
Your among the few
who lost their pride.

America is beautiful
how long will we keep our pride this time
it seems like it will be over
once the Yellow Journalism fades

Whats this we're talkin about war
forget about sharpening your swords
Forgive and forget
its Peace or get out
We don't need to get revenge

We're smarter than they
We're more spirited than they
So what are we doing
Fighting in afganistan
when we could be helping the homeless

We could be feeding the poor
We could be much much more

But We're America!
We're Beautiful
So lets wag our flags high

Pray to you
Looking up at the sky
and the stars start to fly
I pray to you (I pray to you)
let my dreams come true

and it makes me wonder why
my dreams seem so high
and why the skies not always blue
I know that you hold it
I know you control it
so what am I going to do

I pray to you(pray to you)
let my dreams come true(dreams come true)
in you theres no fear(theres no fear)
I pray to you

Let me fly high to my destiny
for the whole world to see

Where Will You be
help me fly away from here
take me high beyond the clouds
to where the unicorns fly
let me be as free as can be
tell me that you care
and that you'll be there
hold me in your arms
hold me tight and treat me so right
take me beneath the sea
to where the titanic sank before
let me be free from free
just be there for me

This here is one that goes to my teacher Ms. Chadwick and also her fatherIts titled Thank You
I thank You for
you have affected my life in many ways
you reached to my heart
I thank you for all you've done
you caught me when I fell and lifted me up
you gave me faith to believe
I thank you for the kindness you have radiated
you took away the pain and replaced it with laughter
you saved me from a broken heart
I thank you for all your support
you taught me to believe
you taught me to reach out
I thank you for the courage
you gave me
to break down
I thank you for all the tears you replaced with smiles
you reached inside my heart and pulled me out
I thank you for being you
I thank you with all my heart
-----------------------------------
Tempted to peak
I wonder what the future holds
I wonder where I'll be
and what I am doing
its kinda like a game of hide and seek
where your oh so tempted to peek
only you can't peek into the future
so I have to wonder what I'd see if
I could just have one peek
its kinda like a game
when your never on the winning team
you always wonder what could have happened
I wish I could play a game
but I'd be tempted to peek
it wouldn't be fair so I have to sit and wait
for my future to come on its own

My very 1st poem ever
I wrote this at 9 years old
Whispering
when I walk through town
I hear the whispers of an angel
looking over me
telling me whats wrong
telling me whats right
and telling me how to be

I won't be anything that he
doesn't want me to be
It isn't for me
Its all for him
It is his. He made it they way he wanted it
He's taken the credit
Because its his

My life my love my heart my soul
it all belongs to one
The one the only everything
is his for him its his his way his heart
his power his belief

He won't take it from me
he already has been givin it
I already sent it to him
My heart my love my soul my everything
Is his for him
Mine for mine
everything is what he wanted it to be

Now the glory is in everything I do
It is the glory god has lain out on the floor
The glory that I see
When he's looking down at me
When I'm singing a song
Or dancing to a beat

It is his for his
mine for mine
my heart my love my soul my everything
Its mine but his
his but mine
nothing I can do will make him see
a difference inside of me

He is my god he is my soul
he died to make me live
without him
I could not I would not want to be
Oh lordy Oh Lordy come whisper down to me
tell me what you want from
Tell me now what I can be
who I am what I do

Tell me what I can be
who I can see
who is my angel
Who is my life
where am I headed
is it the wrong way

Whisper dear lord to me
Whisper the things I need to hear
Whisper everything to me
I want you to tell me
What I am doing right
I want you to tell me what I am doing wrong
I want you to be for me
Like I am for you.

The one the only everything
is his for him its his his way his heart
his power his belief

He won't take it from me
he already has been givin it
I already sent it to him
My heart my love my soul my everything
Is his for him
Mine for mine

Kellie,
That is a heavy poem for a nine year old. And as for the rest, I enjoyed them as well. I look forward to more of your poetry as it is written. Keep up the good work.

Kellie, take your time, Passions isn't going anywhere.  Post your poems so that all may enjoy them, because some people won't know they are all contained in one thread...

Thank you for the tribute to Ginger.  The gifts you leave here of the teacher she had been for you is something we will all learn from.
