What I Have Inside of Me

I have a diamond in me
That loves to shine
That can not be broken
That is strong
That is beautiful

I have a flower in me
That wants to bloom
That needs love in it
That has a life in it

I have a secret box in me
That has secrets in it
And the soul of me
And is locked

By Amber

Inside of Me

I have a dragon in me.
That loves the sunlight.
That can not hate
That is happy and great.
That brings the fire within me.

I have a light in me.
That wants to ignite inside me.
That wants to shine. That needs the sun’s light.
That has great power in it.

I have a secret treasure in me.
That has an imagination and great ideas.
And the treasure holds all the feelings in the world.

What I Have Inside of Me

What I have inside of me.
Is something that no one else can see.
I have a shelf inside of me.
Who loves to hold love you see.

It also holds joy so much.
I know I laugh when I feel that ticking touch.
The smartness that it also holds.
Feels me from my head to toes.

Then I have a winning goal.
Which is soccer, that I know.
My shelf is full of love and feeling.
I really love my shelf, really.

Love Like a Rose

I came up with this poem because I dug deep in my heart and I felt what I had to write that was the truth. That is no lie.

My love is like a Rose that can’t die that is so beautiful it shines brightly and has a lot of curage. And it reminds me of time when I encouraged myself when I needed the most. It makes me feel like I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I want to soar in the sky and never turn back.

By Isaiah

Honesty Like a Treasure

My honesty is like a treasure chest.
It holds everyone's trust.
I know it reminds me of the time
When I kept a secret for my friend.

It makes me feel like a diamond.
I know it makes me feel that way because a diamond holds precious beauty.

Self Portrait

When I look in the mirror, I see an angel behind me.
My smooth and caramel skin reminds me of my grandpa who is still with me in heaven above.
My eyelashes are long and pretty like my mom’s Sweet Love.
My Dad gave me thick eyebrows and curly hair.
When I look in the mirror this face is always there.

By Desmond

Secret Deep Inside

There is a secret deep
Down in my soul
I will never tell my
Secret it’s a secret

Fear and Love

It reminds me of the time when I found my first ___________.
It makes me feel like an angel.
When I go in my own personal dreams.

What I Have Inside of Me

I have a ruby in me.
That loves to be filled with feeling
That cannot be able to be free
That is a feeling that I have and love
That cannot self free.

I have a room in me.
That wanted to set free.
That needs passion in it.
That has trust in it.

I have a secret witch in me.
That has a bad attitude in it.
And the witch needs to control its attitude.
And has a little heart in it.

By Monay

What I Have Inside of Me

I have a lion in me.
That loves to help people.
That cannot hurt people.
That is locked inside of me.
That can not get out.

I have a lion in me.
That wants to help me do my best.
That needs a friend.

My lion has a secret.
And he plans to keep it.
My lion has a key, to open up the secret.
And the key only works for me.

By Calvin

My Ingredients

5 gallons of love
3 tablespoons of courage
A truckload of caring
A shipload of heart
A trainload of responsibility
50 gallons of faith

First we will pour in 5 gallons of love into a huge pot so that I will not fight and argue.
Heat it up until it boils and bubbles.
Next add 3 tablespoons of courage.
So I can protect my little brother when he gets in trouble.
Next pour a truckload of care.
So I can care for my brothers.
Mix it all together with a shipload of heart to care for others.
Pour a train load of responsibility to make good choices.
Finally we pour 50 gallons of faith so that I can believe in myself.
