Yvonne’s Poetry

Filled with Blessings

My life is full with
friends and family.
Going to church on Sunday
is something I love.
Friends and I go out to eat,
and to the movies.
I love going to school
because there is always more to know.
Blessings fill my life.
I am grateful.

Learning Together

We are family
at Noorthoek Academy.
Learning new things
each semester.
Experiencing other cultures
and exploring the world with friends.
Nothing is better than
learning together.

Flowers

Flowers are beautiful
in Hawaii and Alaska.
One place is warm,
the other cold.
It doesn’t matter
where they grow.
They are always pretty.

Ocean Visit

I would love to see
the beautiful ocean
and feel all its power.

Italy Someday

My friends, family and me
would love to see
all the pretty paintings
and beautiful old statues.
We would enjoy
tasting the food,
visiting nice places.
Taking lots of pictures.

 

A Visit

I wish I could invite
Mother Teresa to
visit our home.
We would eat supper,
then all go to the beach
to watch the sunset.

Healthy Living

I like to exercise outside,
jumping jacks on the deck,
running on a track.
It’s fun to see
others exercise, too.
When I eat out,
healthy salads.
Then early to bed.
