The Moon Can Shine Brighter Than The Sun

I'm sorry I haven't posted in forever, but here's a poem that I decided that I would write tonight and if anyone has thoughts or suggestions that would be awesome. :P

            The Moon can Shine Brighter than the Sun

I may not be perfect.

I don’t have the prettiest teeth,

Or the best smile.

Sure, she’s prettier than me.

I may not be rich.

I may not get everything I want,

And sure I complain a lot.

I don’t have the most talent.

Never do I wear make-up anymore,

And I don’t spend hours on my hair.

I’m not a genius,

My eyes aren’t anything special,

I don’t always know what to do,

Or even what to say.

Sometimes, I just want to be alone,

In the peace and quiet.

And something that I learned,

Is that I may not be perfect,

But sometimes,

The moon can shine brighter than the sun. 

My Pappap Fletcher

So, lately I've been a little stressed. My grandfather, who, (God Bless him,) is 90 years old, has been in the hospital for about a week and a half. He passed out walking up the stairs to church, which he faithfully attends every single mass he can, so like 4-6 times a week. He has Mersa and an infection in him lungs. I look up to my grandfather so much. Even though he is in the hospital and can only go from his bed to the chair and the bathroom, gives all the nurses and doctors "hell". Haha, or as he calls it he is straightening them out. His legs have hurt him bad for years and at home he has a lazy boy chair and always has his feet up, well at the hospital his chair didn't have a leg rest. He was also complaining about not having a table big enough to hold anything. So, today when I walk into his room, he is in a chair with a leg rest and has a table beside his bed filled with all his stuff the family keeps bringing him, (pop, candies, etc..) I told him that I saw he got his table and he said, "You're Damn Right I Did, and I'm a be gettin a shave and anything else I want." Haha. God, I love him so much. All the nurses love him, he teases and jokes around with anyone and everyone. The thing that makes him happy the most is just having someone to talk to. Most of my family is there every day and just sits and listens, he will repeat himself and a lot of the stuff doesn't make much sense, but we all love him so much and I, personally, like listening to his stories. He is one of the most important people in my life. We are hoping he's gonna get to come home in about a month, so, please keep him in your prayers. <3

It's Just Me

One day I laughed at the one thing I realized I had. I had something no one could ever take from me. What I realized I had, was the ability to be… me. I laughed because out of everything I have, this was the one thing that was truly mine and I’d never even realized how important that was. I mean if I could say to someone who thought they’d lost everything, “At least you still have you,” what would they say to me? Would they laugh and smile, or just cry? I mean it’s a question I ask myself. I have my personality. I am who I am. There is no one else I can be. And no one can ever be me. No matter how hard they try they can never be, me. I am one. And I am the only me. There will never be another me. So, don’t lose sight of who you are, because who you are, is the only thing you’ll ever truly be.
