Jack Is Not Here

 

 

Where is Jack?

I have to find Jack!

Jack has my shoes!

OOOOOOOH, Jack!

 

Jack where are you?

I looked in his room and he’s not there.

I looked in his room and he’s not there.

But, I did find something…

My shoes!

But Jack is not here.

 

 


I Remember

 

I remember when I was two; some

Of the things I did really disappointed you.

I remember when all I had to say is

Sorry and everything was okay.

 

 

 


  

Love Hurts

 

Love hurts.  It brings joy and laughter at

Times.  But this boy I met is always on my mind.

 

Loves makes people cry, happy or sad. 

Why does love hurt and bring so much pain?

 

I need someone to love.  Love hurts!   

 

 


Tears

 

Tears I cry from my heart.

Tears I cry from sadness.

Tears I cry for homeless people

On the street.

Tears I cry for the world to Stop

This madness!
