My best friend is a girl.
But that is not important!
I spend almost all my freetime with her.
Her name ... it sounds funny.
xxx
Some people only call her xxx.
And sometimes there are situations
you just only can laugh about her.
She tells me about her problems.
Me, too.
We are not very different.
We like the same music, watch the same movies...
and do the same things.
Sometimes we just only look at each other and see, that there is more ...
than just good friends
No love!
But something we'll never lose.
This feeling that we're one person.
A person with good and bad preferences.
Just like a very special creature.
Two pupils, who are so different.
Boy and girl.
But not in love.
Just the best friends ... existing on earth.

A light brown face
with two blue eyes,
the dark blond hair
flying in the skies,
red lips smiling in the sun,
white teeth and a bubble gum.
That is, how I know her well,
and if she's changing,
because of others,
she will always
be herself!
If she's sad, I will try
to make her laugh,
because she needs
a lot of love
'cause she is often alone.
So I try to give her a home.

Study

A girl goes to school,
She carries her books, melancholy
She doesn’t listen to her teachers,
She doesn’t put up her hand to participate on the lesson,
She even sleeps behind her book, which she has put on her desk,

Suddenly the teacher says to separate the tables,
The girl doesn’t understand why it is so noisy now,
Why she can’t sleep quietly?
Aahh, ok, they are writing a maths exam now,
She didn’t study for it,
Why should she study for it?
She doesn’t need good marks to live,

The girl watches the test paper doubtful,
She doesn’t understand anything,
She isn’t interested in,
She scrawls some notes on it,
She hands over the examination,
And sleeps behind the books again,

After school she goes home,
She doesn’t do her homework,
Does she even have homework?
She is not interested in,
She is going to the disco now,
That is more important than school,

On next day she goes to school,
She is late,
But she is not interested in,
Why should she come punctual?
She is tired, because she went late to home,
She decides to sleep,
Again behind her book

The teacher gives the tests back,
But she is sleeping,
It’s noisy,
It’s really outrageous,
She can’t sleep well,
She gets her test,
She is not interested in,
She only sees red lines and rings,
What does it mean?
She is not interested in,
She fells asleep,

Later on,
She doesn’t have a job,
Why should she work?
She is not interested in,

Suddenly…

The girl has a thought,
She is 40 years old now,
She regrets something,

Why she didn’t concentrate well on her studies?
Why she didn’t pay attention on the lessons?
Why she didn’t apply for jobs?

She made a big mistake,
She missed many things in her life,
She didn’t find the seriousness in her life,

She says now,
“Concentrate well on your studies,
It’s not only to get good marks for your teacher or parents,
It’s for your whole life

Studying is the key to understand the world,
Studying is the basic thing to build up your opinion,
Studying is a special quality in the mind of humans”

The girl becomes an authoress then,
She wants that nobody do the same error like her.

LOVE OF MY LIFE

Heart is full of warmth,
Feel the depth of his soul,
The beauty of his character,
The truth in his voice.

Charm of his face
Filled with grace,
Deep loving eyes,
Wonderful smile.

Placed in my arms,
Is joy filled with flowers,
His fragrance fills the air,
I feel the presence of his care.

Helps' me when I am down,
Feeling low and blue,
Understands me when I am confused.
Prays' for me when I am scared.

Life

What is life?
Some people say "Life is a gift from god",
Some people say "Life is a game to enjoy",
Some people say "Life is there to have fun",

But what is it really?
Everybody try to find a satisfactory explanation,
Everybody search proofs to be confirmed,
But nobody can say definitely what life is,

Is life useful?
Some people live their life to have fun,
Some people live their life to die for others,
Some people live their life to fight for a better life,

But what is really going on?
Some people waste their lifetime,
Some people kill their fellows,
Some people don’t know what to do with their life,

What is the meaning of life?
Life is valuable and precious,
Life is irreplaceable,
Life is only once,

Life should be use careful,
Life should be use wise,
Life should be use as a big gift.

Promises, heaven and tears at night.
something is missing and doesn't feel right.
Butterflies and love, happiness and bliss,
but what have I done, what have I missed?
something is missing and I exacltly know why -
you are gone, now everything's a lie.
Lying in the dark, waiting just for you,
knowing you are not coming, I'm so confused.
Come again, the life is a nightmare
without the one, with whom my love to share.

My rabbit

My rabbit is sweet,
my rabbit is big and
I love it!
