Favorite Quote:
All the words on a stage and all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.


The world cools over pile of rocks

 the sun can't sing because it never stops

it can't tell what its warming

 but sometimes he hears little wispers over the years

Yelling, fighting and war

He thought to himself

What am I doing this for

Why should I keep this warm 

The earth is breaking apart

 and its hurting and burning my heart 

The sun thought what if I stop

 what if I let them all go to rot

 

As the sun slowed down earth became cold

 and just before he stopped

he hered a sound so small but so bold

 

He heard a laugh of a child

something so small and fugal

 playing like there was no tomorrow.

 

 the sun looked at this and watched her grow up

 she danced in the woods and told storys and stuff

then one day she met a man,

who loved to hold her and kiss her hand

 she became a adult

 and she yelled and fought

over thang like money politics and junk

 the sun started to slow down

 from its broken heart

but then he heard a cry and the suns cycle restarts


The author's comments:

This is about my cousin he got kicked out and stopped loving thangs and people he felt so alone like the world had turned against him he stopped eating and accidently told me It was scary but i played it off and slowly started reminding him to eat by messaging him. I make sure he eats every day. I know he care for it and it makes him feel loved and cared about he's done really well he has a good job and his two cars ruby and bumble he's happier I like to think he is the sun in this story and that even though im growing up I still love him and he will continue to be apart of my life and my futer husbands and kids life. this poem is about the futer and working hard he is so hard working and caring and I love him and am really proud of him
