This November 8th

Photobucket


I wore my yellow tights to school,
my navy dress as well.
Red lipstick flared off my small lips
And dabbed perfume for smell.

My backpack jostled as I walked
It kind of made me glad
And the bells chimed out above my head
The tones mixed bright and sad.

A mother walking with her child
Passed me on the street,
I loved the way his small legs moved
I loved his tiny feet.

And then I got to class on time
Sat down right at the bell.
I felt so glad to be on this earth,
and that's my show and tell.

lovely! Now, what I want to know is, what shoes did you wear?! I have a navy dress that I want to wear with yellow tights, but I'm not sure of what foot option to go with! Help a sister out!

Cute poem. November 8th is my mom's birthday! It's a good day for a good poem.
oh and yes you really did give me a shoe box full of toys for christmas our 9th grade year! and you got Daysha a black note pad with milky pens and then you gave everyone else little cans of shaving gel with a disposable razor. haha That was when we were in Doan's P.E. class together and you Daysha and I were inseperable. We formed TeamTractor for flad football and Jumped on Doan's back during baseball and called her a big cat during volleyball...looking back on it, we were a bit annoying I'm sure. But hey, we had fun! haha

Did you write this?!?! I love poetry, and write it myself. Haven't worked up the courage to share it on my blog though! Few people really appreciate poetry!

Anyway, this poem is freakin sweet! I love it!
