My Pop-Pop

He was amazing and caring
He was strong and loving
He lit up my world
His smile was contagious and his laugh was priceless
He shared his love with the world, he shared his heart
He was my Pop-Pop
I admired him and appreciate him
I feel blessed to have known him
We all love him

As the years have passed
we still feel his love
stronger than ever
it will never leave
his love is stronger than the wind,
stronger than the sun,
his love will never be gone

His love is still with me
it inspires me to love everybody
every day, in every possible way
His love is my inspiration,
even after everything
share love,inspire love,
and above all else
cherish love.

I Am Grateful for…
I am grateful for having a shower and a bathtub. Every day after soccer practice, or being out in the hot sun or the cold winter I love going home and enjoying a nice long shower or tub. I find it is very relaxing and I like getting out feeling clean and refreshed. It is something I look forward to every day and always appreciate.

Ghost

I believe in Ghosts because my mom always tells a story about how her work is haunted. While she is working she says that she can hear her name being called and when she asks her coworkers what they were calling her for they will reply that they weren’t calling.

If I were a Super Hero

If I was granted super powers that I never thought were possible then I would be the most powerful and influential person in the world. I would try to use all my special powers for good instead of evil and I would try to save the world of war, poverty, and homelessness. I would try to share my super powers with others in hopes to change the world.

Expectations

An expectation is simply just one person’s guess at what the future should hold. When I think of the word expectation I think of my recent soccer game against Harwood. We ended the 80 minute game with a tied score of 2-2, and we headed into overtime to see who was the better team. My coaches, and my team, expected that we would win.
