OCTOBER’S SHAWL
October is a splendid month
Wrapped in a flaming shawl
It holds the richest treasures
As the summer turns to fall.
The brilliant leaves swirl to the earth
Colors of orange and brown
Dipped in scarlet and touched with bronze
They fall tumbling to the ground.
The grass is dying, the flowers are gone
October is taking his stand.
He is paving the way for winter
Leaving his mark upon the land.
He does his job so silently
Splashing the woodlands with gold
To be altered by ruthless ‘Ole Winter
Who enters so careless and bold.
He will crinkle the leaves that you’ve colored
Causing a state of despair
And cover the day with a blanket of gray
Forgetting you ever were there.
But, although your radiant flame must die
And the delicate leaves do fall
You’ve paved the way for snowflake days
As winter drapes your shawl.

Memories.
Some memories they may become faded,
With the passing of
oncoming years,
And often folks only remember
Just the heartaches and all
of the tears...
But always, I know I'll remember,
Until my each of days
are through...
Every single, delightful dear memory...
That ever I made
with you.

Life Isn't
Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about
how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have
plans this weekend or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, who
you used to date,
How many people you've dated, or if you haven't been
With anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed,
It
isn't about who your family is or
How much money they have
Or what kind
of car you drive.
Or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how
beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,
Or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is
blonde, red, black, or brown,
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get how smart you are, how smart
Everybody
else thinks you are, or how smart
Standardized tests say you are.
It's
not about what clubs you're in or how good
You are at "your" sport.
It's
not about representing your whole being on a piece of
Paper and seeing who
will "accept the written you."
Life just isn't.
Life is
about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or
unhappy purposely.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about
friendship, used as a sanctity or as a weapon.
It's about what you say and
mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
It's about starting rumors and
contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored
with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and
revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow
And
spreading it.
But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison
Other people's hearts in such a way that could have
Never occurred
alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those
Choices are what life's all about.
