Writing My little work of poems

[Ninjaman]

I was looking through my old schoolwork from the past semester and I came upon my old poems, so I thought I'd share some with you guys. Hope you like it!

[u]My Nephew[/u]
I never thought I would feel this way
I never thought you would make my day
Everyday, when I see your smile
It makes my life all the worthwhile
To see you grow is where I want to be
You'll be older but for now you're just a baby

You're crawling
You're walking
You're saying "Ma"
Then "Dada"
I think you're growing with too much haste
Time is too impatient for my own taste

But right now, I stand by you
You're my baby nephew
I'll hold on and won't let go
Until I know
That you have grown
And you are ready to travel the unknown
But until then, I'll keep you near by
And be there when you cry

I'll teach you things that you never knew
Hopefully I won't end up confusing you
I'll be there when you have a question
And we'll work together for the solution
But right now, I'll help you walk
Across the land while teaching you to talk

It feels good to be with you
You cheer me up whenever I feel blue
Always when we're playing
I always feel like smiling

Time will run past me
Then I wil see
How much you've grown
You will run into the unknown
I have and will always love you
You're always my baby nephew

[size=1]That's sweet. Little kids can be wonderful. (They can also be annoying, but that's not the point.)

Did you write that for class?[/size]

Heh, I almost forgot I posted the poem.

Yeah, I wrote it for my English class. We had to make, I think, 10 poems about certain subjects. That one was for a family relative. And since I'm here, I'll post the poem I made about my friends

[u]Shadow[/u]

I wonder to whom I should follow
Or should I wander as a helpless shadow
I want to go run and see
The person that I could be
I'll run across the world
In hoping to be heard
But then I would find out and see
That the world doesn't even know me

Now here I am all alone
Can't expect me to pick up the phone
And call someplace
Which would direct me to destiny's face
How can I expect to find my way
And meet with fate in a day

I want to be with my friends
And hope it never ends
The world can't make me go on my own
They can't tear me from the place I've known
But why should I even stay
They don't know me anyway

But then I notice that they see me
That's how I always wanted it to be
They see me running away
They don't want me going that way
It's then that they want to know me
Will they tell me who to be
I want to tell them who I am
For I know exactly who I am

I want stay with them until the end
Now I'm finally their friend
They believe in me
For they know who I want to be

The world can't tear me away from my home
They can't make me live on my own
All they say is just a lie
They can't break me and make me cry
They can no longer tell me what to be
I'm stronger than what they see

Now I have my place to call my own
Someplace where I'm no longer alone
I have something to hold on
Now I finally feel belong
I belong with my friends
Where the adventure never ends

Now I can stop running away
I finally found my way
I no longer expect to believe
That destiny will weave
My threads of fate for me to follow
I'm no longer a helpless shadow
