Whenever I’m down and out

I give my girl a shout

She’s fun and kind and smiley

Of her I think highly

Always there to lift me up

Constant in filling my cup

Of all people she’s the one I admire

And she never ceases to inspire

Everyone looks to her

When everything seems a blur

Strong and brave

We know she will never cave

A beast on the court

She knows how to hold down the fort

A student in the school

She’s clearly a jewel

Gorgeous, bubbly, and pretty

Even a bit witty

This girl has it all

And never lets her friends fall

Loved by everyone

She shines like the sun

What would the world be without Keri?

To tell you the truth, it’d be a little scary

Peru…

                         

…home of snow-capped mountains, tropical rainforests, giant sand dunes, and massive volcanoes.  A land of great diversity and adventure…

                               

…ancient ruins, exotic animals, friendly people…

…no place can compare. This place is paradise. 

                                                            

Stories Untold

Differences, conflict, war

Rots through a being’s core.

No understanding turns to hate

Where suffering and pain await.

Covetousness, intolerance, greed

Ignores as peace pleads.

Men’s hunger for more

Leaves the world tore.

Hurt, agony, tears

The suffering has no cures.

Memories and images engraved

Until innocent minds have caved.

Violate, beat, maul

Man’s greed affects us all.

Children’s eyes behold

A story of pain untold.

Slay, butcher, slaughter

One massacre leads to another.

Hatred turns to genocide

What does war prove? You decide.
