It is not an ordinary day,
But a special time to remember.
My family will come join together,
To celebrate and rejoice.
...

A Shining
STAR
So bright in the sky,
So bright I can’t really see it,
...

Looking up at the stars,
I pray to God that you're alright,
Even though you're so far away.
...

I close my eyes at night,
But soon I just wake up,
I feel you at my side,
But when I open my little eyes,
...

I wonder why,
I cannot sleep,
Just dreaming and thinking about you.
...

A gentle kiss,
A hug so tight,
Can't let go –
I'm not alright…
...

We’re holding hands—side by side;
Walking on the winded road—the never ending path.
We laugh together,
Cry together,
...

I’ll tell you how the day began,
The day I’ll head to the states,
An hour after hour
Before I head to the gate.
...

Cards with hearts, and chocolate so sweet,
Valentines Day with candy to eat,
Lots of treats and cards so dear,
But there was one thing that wasn’t clear.
...

It’s now the end of Science Camp,
the day when we go home.
But now I start to miss –
the people I cared most.
...

Tears coming down my cheeks,
Tight hugs,
And sweet kisses.
It’s just so hard to take.
...

I close my eyes at night,
But soon I just wake up,
I feel you at my side,
But when I open my little eyes,
...

It’s getting to the end of school,
When summer starts to come.
But now we start to miss –
the people we cared most.
...

Lost in sea,
With my family and me,
I feel scared and alone—
But my family will be by me.
