Song of Myself (1892 version)

I celebrate myself, and sing myself,

And what I assume you shall assume,

For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

Love Is...

Love is being there for your friend

Even when it's rough,

Or letting him know he is not alone

When times get a little tough.

It's remembering to say thank you

For all that they've done,

It's going to the park with your brother

And having a lot of fun.

It's doing the chore's for your dad

When he never asks you,

Or letting your sister

Do all the things she wants to do.

Love is being there for your mom

When she calls,

Or letting her she's not alone

When she falls.

LOVE IS...

Love is special
Its always there
Your family is helpful
They will always care

It's when dad is smiling
When mom is fair
Working together
Keeping our family from despair

It's when your happy
And never get a frown
Your friends are always there
They will never bring you down

It's when grandma is smiling
It's within her soul
I love her so much
I can't let go

It's when taking a bullet
Right in the chest
Making sure your brother
Won't get in trouble for the rest

Love Is…

Love is

When you are a secret Santa to your enemy

You should still give them a good present,

Or when you greet them on the street

 you should still be pleasant,

Going to the train station to meet my Mom

on a cold winter day,

Listening to her in the car

complain about her bad day,

Letting my Dad watch

his favourite sports on the TV,

Even though there are a million and one other things

I'd rather see,

Saying your friend is a good singer

but she is not,

Sometimes we lie to others

because we don't want our friendship to rot.

By Georgiana

Love Is…

Love is when you have to lie

To help your friend feel better,

Or cheer your sister up

If she's under the weather.

Its saying sorry to your mom

For things you didn't do,

Or getting blamed by you brother

For something he did too.

Love is telling your dad he's looking young

Even if he's not looking good,

Or helping your cousin study

Even if you never understood.

It's knowing you're right

But still saying sorry,

Or helping your dad

Clean his Ferrari.

Love is telling your family

That you will always care,

It's doing things for others

Even though it's not always fair.

Love Is…

Love is being nice to your brother

when you're not in the mood

or talking to your worst friend

without being rude.

It's showing your dad

that you really care

or having your grandparents

always there.

It's learning to put your mom

before you

or for your best friend.

doing everything you can do

It's being there for your aunts

when things are rough

or letting your cousins

borrow your stuff.

Love is standing up

when people are mean

but more importantly

love needs to be seen

Love poem

Love Is…

Love is walking away

When you're about to start a fight,

It's saying sorry

When you know you're right,

It's giving your dad

A big bear hug,

Or helping your mom

Clean out the rug.

It's letting your brother

Hog the video games,

It's getting in trouble

But taking the blame.

It's telling the unpopular kid

He's important in your life,

And reminding your dad

He has a wonderful wife.

It's telling your grandpa

You will always care,

Love is everything

Just and fair!

Love Is…..

Love is helping them up when you're in a rush,

Or saying its ok when your best friend likes your crush.

It's helping your mom when you're tired and you're sore,

Or when you go out with dad when you can't take anymore.

Its letting your sister borrow your phone,

Or giving your brother your ipod when he's bored and alone.

Love is doing whatever it takes to see that one person smile,

But even though love is hard you're gonna feel it for a while.

-MJ

Love is……

Love is giving your niece

Stuff you won't get back,

It's letting your friend know

That our friendship won't be jacked.

It's telling your mum

That you want to be with her 24/7,

Or telling your dad

That he belongs in heaven.

It's telling your brother

You won't eat his food,

And telling your worst friend

About your lousy mood.

It's helping your sister

By taking the blame,

And seeing your cousin

Playing a hockey game.

Love is telling your grandparents

You miss and love them,

But through everything

Love is a gem.
