Big Brother
You are my big brother
You teach me a lot
About the things I need
In life.
If you would stop,
Then I would be in trouble.
I wouldn’t know what to do,
I’d be scared.
You will keep teaching me,
Right?
You make me feel
Like I have a hero.
Like I am in control.
You make me feel smart,
Give confidence in my life.
You make me feel
Complete.

Night
I asked the night
To protect me
And I was unharmed.
I asked the night
To light my path
The stars brightened
And led me home.
I asked the night
To soothe me
And I fell into the darkness
Of my dreams.

Definitions
I found the definition of blue today.
It was in the perfect, cloudless sky.
I found the definition of green today.
It was in the thick forest and fields beyond.
I found the definition of clear today.
It was in the air all around me.
I found the definition of calm today.
It was on the lake, cool and still.
I found the definition of peace today.
It was in between this world and the next.
I found the definition of harmony today.
It was I, fading in with the blue-green world.
I found the definition of warmth today.
It was in the sun’s rays, sweet as mother’s touch.
I found the definition of joy today.
It was in my heart as I walked home.
