Poem: Hug O'War By Shel Silverstein

 

I will not play at tug o' war.

I'd rather play at hug o' war,

Where everyone hugs

Instead of tugs,

Where everyone giggles

And rolls on the rug,

Where everyone kisses,

And everyone grins,

And everyone cuddles,

And everyone wins

Poem: True Friendship by Alora M. Knight

 

It isn't the years,

It isn't the tears

That makes life worthwhile.

It's the memories that grew

And the people you knew

That will bring back a smile.

 

Mistakes that were made,

Plans often mislaid

Are a part of the past.

What you've kept in your mind

Is where you will find

What you wished to hold fast.

 

Some things in life

May be had without strife.

It can happen that way.

Still, a friendship is earned,

And where love is concerned,

I'm willed to say.

 

When life draws to a close,

Let me be one of those

To cry, "Life has been great!"

It's the friends that were made,

Those who lived unafraid.

That is proof of the world we create.

 

- Alora M. Knight
