My tribute to a friend Poem

Kaleb you are my best friend

We have shared so many good times together I don’t know where to begin

It seem like yesterday when we first met

I still want my football jersey you took out of my locker and kept

We really did it together winning state

That could not happened without you being such a good teammate

We had some good times; I think the best was last year’s spring break

Or maybe the time you lost the bet in golf and had to jump in the lake

I miss throwing in hogs with you down at the river

Man all the beers we drank there can’t be good for our liver

I hope all is going well with you in Colorado

Nothing has changed Jake and I are still doing lawn jobs in his Silverado

Well I’m going to go now I can’t wait to see you

Good luck at base, keep chewing the chew

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poem

Nick you were a great friend

You could always put a smile on my face

Even when we got sprayed by cops with mace

For dancing out of place

We were like 2 peas in a pot

Always getting caught

You helped me live life to the fullest

And didn’t care what people thought about you

That is why you were such a cool dude

You could put everyone in a happy mood

Especially when you made good food

You may have passed away

But I still think about you everyday

It all started freshmen year when we met

You told me how you wanted to be a vet

We all played football together

And we would sometimes fight

Like brothers and sisters at night

Our friendship will always be tight 

Letter of thanks

Dear mom and dad,
I don't think a letter could ever tell you how thankful I am for you guys.  I may not always show it, but I just wanted to let you know that I truly do appreciate everything you guys do for me and my two sisters, you're daughters.  You've always told us that anything is possible if you work hard for it.  You two are a perfect example for anyone to follow, from you guys not growing up with much and not being able to go to college to starting your own business together and trying to provide as good of a life as possible for me and my sisters.  You never undervalue the importance of education as it wasn't possible for you two to attend college when you were younger and I think it's amazing how you two still managed to be successful with how little you came up with.  I just wanted to thank you, fro everything you do, and everything you continue to do for us.

Poem

It's always a good time when you're around
i think it's impossible for you not to be loud
you're heard through out the whole town
it's ok though, i wouldn't have it any other way

It's crazy you're growing up so fast
protective over you like a cast
especially since you're the last
of 3 kids

Whatever you do, you do it well
you're the focus of attention, like a ringing bell
you never get bitter
it's a pleasure to call you my little sister

letter of thanks.

This is to you Peggy Getz, my mother and father.

     You supporting me through college and not only me, but your other two daughters while being a single mother and working three jobs to make sure we have bright futures is so strong. When dad died you tried taking over his business that he was so successful at and you tried to keep it alive as if it was dad himself. You never give up and that's what I love most. When you want something there's no hesitating for you, you just go and get it without anyone being able to stop you. I love that I can count on you for everything, like being my number one fan even though you're two hours away I know that if you don't have to work that you'll be on the sidelines of my rugby games screaming my name from excitement and nervousness every time I get the ball.
     Being my mom and dad is probably the hardest job you have but you do it with such ease and perfection, so I think that your whole life everything you've been through you were meant to be in this position and you are succeeding in it. You help me with everything and give the best advice.
     I consider you my hero. I admire every thing you've been though and how you deal with it. You make life look so easy when I know it's not. I couldn't think of any other person that I'm most grateful for than you to write this letter to. I just wanted to make sure that you know that you're loved to the highest extent by me.

POEM


                                      

My little brother

My little brother

You mean a lot to me

Right after my mother

Your existence is like a piece of art

With a swift of paintbrush

You create a line of heart

I can tell when you’re angry

And when your frown is upside down

You seem to get a lot cranky

When all that surrounds you

Is hopeless and sorrow

I can tell when you’re trying

To swallow your faults and fears

But in the outside know that you’re shining

I can see when you start to fade away

And everything looks so gray

Hold on don’t worry

You’re strong as a tide

And unique as glory

Without you I’m useless

You make my life fun

Like a jeopardy game when I’m quite clueless

While we play outside near the bright sun
