One Year Today...

"November 27, 2004"

My name is Emily.
I am but twelve,
I sigh at the pictures,
that sit on the shelve.
I woke up one morning,
my sister was crying,
I thought maybe one,
of her friendships was trying.
but then I sat up,
and got out of my bed,
walked out of my room,
still asleep in my head.
Then my sister stood up,
and gave me a hug,
her face wet from crying,
she'd lost someone she'd loved.
I just kept on walking,
more confused than before,
and saw that my mother,
was crying even more.
and then i looked down,
and saw you laying there,
I listened to mom,
as she gently stroked your hair.
I looked in your eyes,
that i loved so much before,
and just sat back and stared,
as you laid helpless on the floor.
I started to miss you,
before you had left,
but tears just wouldn't come out,
no not one,
no not yet.
then finally they came,
and I called out your name,
and sat there so long,
thinking this is jsut wrong.
It just wasn't fair,
to see you lying helplessly there.
The last time I'd see you,
for the rest of my life.
Then my mom said to leave,
and dad took you away.
I took one last look,
one last hug,
my best friend,
and wished you could stay.
But then it was over,
too quick to measure.
I had lost my best firend,
one of my most-valued treasures.

My name is Emily,
I am but twelve.
I lost my best friend,
but his spirit still dwells.

I can never ever ever say, that last year at this time i was with Jake. It was a sad time, my first dog, my first friend. We were together for 12 years, almost thirteen. He was a good dog. He didn't really like me, but he was a good dog. It is so sad, i can barely remember him. My memories have been fogged up with Luke. I see a black dog with Luke's face. Jake was a good beggar, he always made me feel safe,he always made me smile.
Jake was a good dog, and i miss him a lot. I'll always miss him. He'll always be my favorite dog, no matter how many are yet to come. I love him still. I miss him, and it saddens my heart knowing he's gone, but its all a part of Gods plan. He took JAke away, but he gave us a big, brown, blessing.

Okay, I surrender, I'll post!

"Two Cents"
Shaun Groves
So proud to call you friend
So let down you're starting up again
The same old story a thousand times told
With you the hapless damsel in distress

Am I richer than your King?
Will my two cents get you anything?

Chorus:
I'll give you prayers and my time
Ev'ry moment of mine
All I have is yours to spend
But if you're hoping all your tears will dry
With words that I dispense, well
There're just some things that can't be bought with my
Two cents

Still I'm so glad you call me friend
Just wond'ring when your pity parties end
When will you stop this bringing invitations
Wearing your same black party dress

Am I richer than your King?
Will my two cents get you anything?

Chorus

How can I have all your answers
When I've got questions of my own?

I'll give you prayers and my time
Ev'ry moment of mine
All I have is yours to spend
But if you're hoping all your tears will dry
With words that I dispense, well
There're just some things that can't be bought with my,
Bought with my, two cents.

there's no other, such a friend and brother,
tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
tell it to Jesus, alone. Why dont you tell it to Jesus alone.

Keeping you posted...but not succeeding

Sorry i haven't posted in such a long time, but i lose time. I've joined swim team in the last month, and it consumes a lot of my time, leaving my homework to be done during the night hours. Oh, well, its been fun, we as girls lost to Orange and beat the two teams at Cuyahoga Heights, and te boys lost to both, but only by 7 points at Cuyahoga Heights.
Other than that, i took a American History test that was okay, it could have been easier, or i could have studied harder. I think tests are a punnishment. I think that because i pay attention in class, but i still have to study so much, and i get REALLY nervous and sometimes stressed out. but, oh well, its over and i know what to expect for the next test.I'm sure you dont want to hear about my test-taking blues, so i'll talk about something else.
YAY!!!!I got my TRUE*LOVE*WAITS* ring, after waiting for 3 weeks. I was so excited. Today, we are also going to get jeans, because i only have one pair that i'll wear.The football team won last night 42 to 20, leaving us 12-0! woot woot!I didnt like the blue and gold vs. blue and gold thing though...it was driving me nuts!Next week we are playing Hoban.
My dad came back from Japan yestrday, and my mom form Amish country.Please don't tell DAvid or Alex that, it was just a retreat!You see, we changed seats in science, and for some reason they call me amish. They draw pictures of butter churners and they draw a chair and say i made it, its kinda funny, but sometimes i can't pay attention. Brittany and her dad are comming to the revival thingy on Sun-Wed, and in a couple weeks marks one year Jake has been gone. Speaking of which, Luke turned one year old Monday:) Well, i've just about posted all i can, hopefully i'll post sometime this week.

Falling Trees

If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? YES!!!!!! I learned about it in science today! When something vibrates (such would happen when a tree falls) it sends waves that travel through a medium-such as water, air or a sold. Since there is a medium around the tree (air) when it falls, the sound waves created by the vibration make a sound.....no matter if you hear it or not! So, the next time anybody asks you that, say YES!!!!!!
