Poems and Thoughts by Alexie

I have written two poems lately that can really express what I felt and have learned lately. So here they are:

Friends

Friends come,

They fill my heart,

With abundant joy.

Friends go,

My heart bursts

With troubled grief.

That is why

I hope for no good-byes

Only hi’s and sunny skies

To fill my world of friends.

Words cannot express

The pain it bears

To say bye to a friend so dear

That I may never see again.

That is why

I hope for no good-byes

Only hi’s and sunny skies

To fill my world of friends.

I wrote that poem because we have a team here but they are leaving very soon. I will really miss them especially Ate Krista who has been a real encouragement and friend to me.

In My Mind

In my mind,

I try to work it out.

In my mind,

I try to make it fine.

In my mind,

I try to figure it out.

In my mind,

I try to make it all paradise.

In my mind,

I try to make it all right.

In my mind,

Sometimes I succeed.

In my mind,

Sometimes I fail.

Out of my mind,

Many times I fail.

Just because I am trying too hard

To do it on my own

Not leaving room

For any help

From Him.

I really like to plan and work out problems. However I have been learning a lot about trusting God for everything and so that is what I think that I should do.
