The Harbor Dock

By -
Writing poetry is one of my favorite things to do, and I really hope that you enjoy reading it!

The waves were crashing up and down,
Bumping against the sand
Hastened were the people then
To sail away from land.

The boats were then untied to sail
The great and mighty Bold,
And bells were then a ringing  
To set sail the men of old.

People crowded the Port
That held them up from sea,
To watch their fathers depart
From their families.

They told their last goodbyes,
From the harbor dock,
And then the boats ascended  
The once merry flock.

And then you could see the last light
Of this mighty ship
That would come back someday
Unto this harbor slip.
.
And now the boats are miles away
From the tired shore
And the waves will crash again,
On this Harbor alone.



I hope you have enjoyed this poem!

Our Field Fire

By -
One evening me, my mom, Olivia, and my Nana were out shopping in Tyler. My dad and Sophie stayed home to work on the farm. After a day of shopping, lunch and fun we arrived  s ome and unloaded our bags. Olivia prepared to go to a Bible Study and me and Sophie made some candles. As Olivia and my mom walked out to the car to leave, they unexpectedly saw a big cloud of smoke coming from the field. My mom walked out to the pond where the smoke was coming from and saw part of our field burning with fire. Earlier in the day my dad started a burn pile in the field by the pond. The fire had spread from the pile and was moving closer to our tree farm! My mom ran to the barn to get the mule and headed out to find my dad, who was in the woods on his tractor. I was in the kitchen cooling my candles when Sophie called me to the door. She told me to get my shoes on and follow her to the pond. When we caught up to my Nana, Papa and Olivia (who had already started heading down there), we collec...

About My Christmas Season

By -
This Christmas month my family and I have been reading an Advent book by Ann Voskamp which shows us the true meaning of Christmas through stories from the Bible. The book is called Unwrapping the Greatest Gift. The greatest gift is Jesus, and the book shows us that instead of unwrapping gifts from under the tree, we can unwrap God’s love and let him be our greatest gift. During Advent we always do fun and exciting crafts as a family. This year we built Ginger Bread houses, cut out paper snowflakes, celebrated Saint Nicholas, learned about the legend of the Candy Cane, had a Christmas sing along, worked on Christmas puzzles, and watched Christmas movies by the fire.   When I was younger, we also did Advent but I did not understand it as well and focused more on the presents. Now I think of it as a celebration of Jesus’ birth and His love for me. God is the reason of this month, and we should spend it in His remembrance. This month to me is not just getting gifts on Christmas d...
