Sonnets

Sonnet 1,000,000,000,000

As he stares at her golden hair,
And her cheeks like red roses.
He makes his move and proposes,
She looks through him like he is air,
He is just a loving Teddy Bear,
And the door she closes.
He holds the big bouquet of roses,
And he stands faithfully there.
She is too proud to love a good man,
And he fears he has been put down.
He loves her as much as he can,
And she thinks he is just a clown.
He really cares a lot,
And she does not.

Sonnet 999,999,999,999

She loves him like a saint,
And she shows that she has a care.
Her red cheeks look like red paint,
And she has long golden hair.
He says he will always be there,
And he shows a love that has burned.
She thinks of him as a big bear,
And her love she has earned.
Her love is not turned,
And she is not too proud.
Through him she has learned,
How to feel like she is on a cloud.
Through all the pain,
Love is their gain.

Poems and Stories

A Man Rich With God's Love

He came in a manger in Bethlehem
With only candle light in the stable.
They were unable to get a room
So He was born in a manger.
Through his life he was called a fool
For telling of God's love.
Many called him a liar;
They thought He wasn't the Messiah.
But twelve people believed Him.
Many didn't believe Him.
And He hung on a cross
To save the world from sin.
He was poor of money
And He was a man rich with God's Love.

By Marcus Riley, Fall 1997
