Three Short Love Poems
Here is a compilation of three short love poems written by twelve-year-old Emily. The first is a short poem about how Emily loves her teachers. During the school year, her literature class was given an assignment to write a letter to a departing teacher. Emily asked if she could write a poem instead and was given permission.
The second poem was written for a hand made card that Emily made for her mother for Mother's Day. Similarly, the third was written for a hand made card for her father for Father's Day.
The Last Day
by: Emily
The saddest thing
It's hard to say
Is seeing you on
Your last day.
I take it for granted,
Though I see you a lot,
Just how much you do
And your kind thought.
You helped me understand
Things I couldn't before.
I can't bear to watch you
Walk out of that door.
Though I'll miss you,
I know indeed
You'll do great out there
Planting new seeds.
"What seeds", you are asking
"Why can't I see?"
But you have already
Planted one in me.
It will grow and grow,
As I learn more and more.
Each day I'll remember
What you taught me before.
I'm happy for you
To plant more seeds.
I know they will grow
Without any weeds.
There won't be weeds.
Yes, of that I am sure.
For you have touched them.
Now they are pure.
The saddest thing,
It's hard to say,
Is seeing you on
Your last day.
A Mother's Day Poem
by: Emily
Mom, I love you.
That is true.
All the way
To infinity, too.
Now that I'm older
And wiser, too,
I realize just
How much you do.
Most of the time
I don't look to see
How many things
You do for me.
For this I am sorry.
Next time I'll try.
You are wonderful,
And I'm glad you're mine.
(Emily really can put out what she feels in a love poem, even at age twelve. I hope you see this in time for your next Mother's Day because it is probably how your child feels about you, whether spoken, written or acted.)
A Father's Day Poem
By: Emily
This is for you,
Dear Daddy of mine
To let you know
I think you're devine.
A bunch of years
Have flown by real fast
But do not worry,
I'll always keep our past.
It'll travel with me
Wherever I go.
I'll remember the times we've had
So long ago.
Please don't be sad,
Dear Daddy of mine
For there are more to come,
You will find.
I'll always remember
Those things we did
Like snowmobiling
(When Mommy was hid).
Riding our bikes,
Hitting golf balls,
Getting up on skis,
Without a fall.
Driving the golf cart,
Nicktoons Racing,
Jumping on the trampoline,
And later your back aching.
No matter where we go
Or what we do,
In my heart always
There's a place for you.
I hope this card helped
You to see
Just how much
I love you, Daddy!
(More telling than the exact words are the eyes of the daughter as she watches her father read the personally prepared poem.
I feel that all children can write down their feelings. Some may not be able to put in poem format, but I see them as poems anyway as they are from the heart. This may be the best way for them to express themselves.
When you see some spare time for your child coming up, why not give some space, and provide pencil and paper. Ask your child to write about how he or she feels about birds, or snow, or the blue sky, or you, or whatever.
My guess is that you will be surprised!).

Add A Gourmet Taste With Cilantro
Cilantro is a common ingredient in salsa and Mexican dishes but did you know it dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians?
Coriander seeds which stem from the same plant as cilantro have been found in Egyptian tombs and writings involving coriander can be seen in Sanskrit which dates from around 1500 BC.
Cilantro is a versatile herb that is is commonly used in salsas, dips, dressings and sauces. This aromatic, citrus flavored herb is a member of the carrot family and can be used dried or fresh. The seeds from this herb are harvested and dried and are known as coriander. The green stems and leaves are the herb known as cilantro.
Cilantro is sometimes sold in the grocery store as something else and if you can't find it in your supermarket try looking for Mexican parsley.
Since cilantro is commonly used in Mexico and Mexican cooking, it is often called Mexican parsley but it is good in other types of cooking as well and you can even...

July Garden Chores
It's getting hotter every day or so it seems. There are still some things that can be done in the garden even at this time of year. Below are a few gardening tips for those that love the summer warmth. For you who aren't particularly appreciative of the hot hot, then do your gardening chores early in the morning.As the flowers in your garden start to fade, you should see seed pods begin to appear. What does this mean as far as the plant's growth is concerned? How does it affect the appearance of your garden?It means that the plant puts most of its resources towards the seeds and creating them.
If the seed pods are allowed to remain, the plant will not continue to give you flowers like it would if the seeds were removed once the flowers go by. You could end up with a garden with lots of seeds and few blooms. This of course, depends on many factors. Therefore, faded flowers should be cut off. You can go around every day as you go about youyr gardening with some type of trimmers...

Commercial Litigation Financing
A person who suffers a personal injury caused by another person
can go in for litigation cases. Similarly, companies too are often involved in litigation. The reason can be attributed to the competitive market and ?unfair competitions,' too. Here the simple disputes in the conduct of business and commercial transaction sow the seeds for litigation.
The companies may reach a discord due to various factors. These can be a wrongful termination of an employer or employee, breach of contract, disputes of insurance, partnership, shareholders, bankruptcy and so on.
Such disputes of commercial transactions can affect the business of that company. For instance, one of the two companies involved in partnership joins hands with a third party clandestinely. There is a breach of trust and related damages caused on the other company. This ?cheated' company can file for litigation against its partner company.
Finally, the disputing companies try to...

Why Isn't God Helping Me?
Have you ever felt like throwing up your arms and saying "I quit! I just can't change! I thought when God came into my life things would get better, but they haven't."
It doesn't matter if you're a new Christian or have been a Christian for a number of years, these feelings can creep in and set you up for confusion and frustration.
So where did things go wrong? Many times our expectations are wrong because we lack full knowledge of how things work in the spiritual realm. We don't understand that our spirit has been renewed, but our soul (mind, will and emotions) and our body (our five senses) have not been renewed.
It's up to us to teach our soul and body to come into alignment with how God wants us to live.
Does God abandon us until we get our act together?
No! He is with us every day, every hour. He provides us guidance through His instruction book, the Bible. When we become a Christian (believe that Jesus Christ is God's only...

Don?t Pull Up The Seeds When You?ve Just Sown Them
Why is it that 95% of people who set themselves goals fail to reach them? In one word: impatience.
The most important and difficult stage of goal-building is the immediate stage after you set your goals. In the first stage, there's a brief blip of euphoria. But this soon passes and then you hit the arid plateau of learning. It's in this phase that most people lose their way and give up.
But this is the phase when you have to hang in there despite appearances. Otherwise, it's like digging up the seeds a week after sowing them.
So, here, for those who need a roadmap through the arid plains of goal-building, is a 6-step guide to managing your impatience and keeping your plans on track.
1. Have Plenty of Motivation Reminders. One of the cruel tricks that life plays on us is to make goal-setting easy and goal-building hard. This is no more true than in the opening phases of working towards a new goal. When we choose a new goal that...
