The Joy of Raising a Baby
We're glad you joined our family,
Yet some things make us wonder;
How can a little package like you
Have a voice that's loud as thunder?
You are so small and oh so cute,
But you are never very shy,
For whenever you want something brought to you,
You just open your mouth and cry.
First you moved on hands and knees,
Then you were up on your feet.
We're chasing you all around the house;
We're tired; we need a retreat!
Your food is smeared over the table;
Your food is on the floor;
Seems the only place food didn't go,
Is in the baby we adore.
Diapers here and diapers there,
Stinky... smelly... Whew!
Diapers would have done us in,
If we didn't love you as we do.
We're glad you joined our family,
You're a unique and wonderful treasure.
So, despite the work of raising you,
Being your parents is a total pleasure!

A queen

A Queen
A Queen is proud of herself. She respects herself and others.
She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from
the person she is with, or does she expect them to
read her mind. She is quite capable of
articulating her needs.

A Queen is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her
dreams come true..... She knows love, therefore she
gives love. She recognizes that her love has
great value and must be reciprocated.
 If her love is taken for granted,
it soon disappears.

A Queen has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance.
She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others
to reach the potential God gave them. A Queen knows
her past, understands her present and
moves toward the future.

A Queen knows the Creative Energy. She knows that with
this the world is her playground, but without she will just
be played. A Queen does not live in fear of the future
because of her past. Instead, she understands that
her life experiences are merely lessons, meant
to bring her closer to self knowledge
and unconditional self love.
Queen,

Second family

I have grown to love a group of crazy, caring, amazing young people. Through our ups & downs we stick together, give our shoulders to cry on & most of all help each other move forward. I love you guys so much, because of all of you I am the person I am today, I wish you all the best in the future & never forget what we've been through together but also never forget the bond and love we all have, my second family what would I do without you guys 😘 JUNE 12th WE'RE COMING FOR YOU 😉 CLASS OF 2014

Dear bestfriend

I still remember the first day we met
We were too shy to say much at all
It's funny to think back to that time
Because now we're having a ball!

They say that true friendship is rare
An adage that I believe to be true
Genuine friendship is something that I cherish
I am so lucky to have met you.

Our bond is extremely special
It is unique in its own way
We have something irreplaceable 
I love you more and more each day.

We've been through so much together
In so little time we've shared 
I will never forget all the moments
that you've shown me how much you cared.

Friends are forever
Especially the bond that you and I possess
I love your fun-filled personality
Somehow you never fail to impress.

The world could use more people like you
it would certainly be a better place
I love everything about you
You are someone I could never replace.

You are always there for me
When my spirits need a little lift
I cannot thank you enough for that
You are truly an extraordinary gift.

You are everything to me and more
I could never express that enough
Life is such a treacherous journey, and
Without you it would be even more tough.

Our story will continue to grow
With each passing day
Because I trust that with you by my side
Everything will always be Okay.

You are so dear to me
You know I will love you until the end
I will always be there for you, and
You will always (and forever) be my best friend.

Remember

 Dawn Jensen


As I walk through life,
I look at all I have done.
I had wandered aimlessly,
And wondered what I have become.

I have been through so much,
It is amazing I made it through.
The lessons I have learned
I am shocked I pulled through.

The times I wondered
What life was all about.
The trials experienced in life,
Can make all the good come out.

We try to make it day by day.
Remembering what we were taught.
Just remember some time to pray,
It is important,
We need it every day.

Life can be short.
Unexpected at that.
We try to take its punches,
Just hoping it won't break our back.

Remember who you are,
Who you want to become.
Everything will fall into place,
When the time comes.

Don't forget I love you's,
Every chance you get.
The time may be short,
There is no time to regret.

Life can be exciting,
As we all have found out.
Eventful, even busy
There is no time to be left out.

Remember who you are,
And who you want to become.
The time can be short
Don't leave things undone.

Remember your families,
They are the only ones you've got.
To carry you in times of need
They can not be bought.

Remember they love you,
Either here or there.
They will always be with us.
Help for things to bear.

Echoes Of Goodbye


Endless footsteps lead on along the ground
The grieving people that were here cannot be found
The black clouds come and hide the crying sky
Amid those timeworn, lonely echoes of goodbye

A young man lived here with a wife, a child, a song
Life he had, but somewhere something went wrong
A mistake--and he left a mourning crowd,
Left them in a dark, black, and shadowed shroud

They buried my daddy that day in the rain
And I cried as I held Momma's hand
Those tears on her face revealed all the pain
We never could quite understand
At the funeral, they'd said my daddy had been
A good man and too young to die,
And the child I had been asked over again
Why hadn't he told me goodbye?

Endless footsteps lead on along the ground
The grieving people that were here cannot be found
The black clouds come and hide the crying sky
Amid those timeworn, lonely echoes of goodbye

Dear grandfather

Tears


Tears streamed down my face when I saw you that way.
I love you grandpa, I will love you everyday.
As my tears raced down my face;
I knew you'd soon be in a happier place.
My love will follow you wherever you go.
Oh how I loved you so.
Although I feel sorrow and hate.
You can't fight fate.
You told me everything as time passed by and by.
I never wanted you to die.
We did a lot together throughout the years.
It's time to wipe away the tears.
I want you to know;
I will never let you go.
I know you loved me too.
My heart will always be with you.
Now it's time to say goodbye.
Until I see you again someday when I die.

As I Watch You Grow

Kay Theese


Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart.
It's there you'll always be, though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me a whirl, 
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair, 
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly, 
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know, 
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear, 
For all you dreams and goals sit before you very near.
With God's love in your heart and the world by its tail, 
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above, 
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt love!

This is a poem my mom dedicated to me since my 18th birthday is coming up


My Teacher

As I stare into her face, I realize things could have I 
never realize before-

1. Beauty- As if she possessed the power of 
the moon itself.

2. Wise- As if the spirit of the wise owl had
blossomed into her heart.

3. Defense- As if she had the power of the 
fierce bear, protecting us from the predators
as if we were her babies.

Anyway I think of her, she is still my wonderful
teacher, and I thank for what she has helped 
(not just me but also my classmates) learn.

Beautiful

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my riches for I am not 
richer than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my beauty for I am not
much beautiful than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my kindness for I am not
much kinder than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my generosity for I am not
much generous than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my logicality for I am not
much logical than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my judiciousness for I am not
much judicious than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my poetic mind for I am not
much poetic than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my prides for I am not 
prouder than her.

JUNIOR PROM

This day I had so much fun, I got the chance to experience my Junior prom and my senior prom. My junior prom was amazing it was inside the Crowne Plaza hotel and it was in the ballroom and this year it was outside. When I heard that the prom was going to be outside this year I kind of didn't like the idea because I didn't know what it was going to look like but it was actually nice, Last year I went to prom with Kathy and this year I went with my boyfriend. It was nice both times, I had a lot of fun with my friends and advisory. Definitely two nights to remember.

A FATHER

A FATHER IS SOMEONE WHO'S THERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU NEED HIM
A FATHER NEVER LETS YOU DOWN 
A FATHER IS SOMEONE THERE TO HUG YOU WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG
A FATHER IS THERE TO DRY UP THE TEARS
A FATHER IS THERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO
A FATHER IS'NT SOMEONE WHO LEAVES THE MOTHER WHEN HE FINDS OUT SHE'S PREGNANT
A FATHER IS'NT SOMEONE WHO DENY'S THEIR OWN CHILD
A FATHER IS'NT SOMEONE WHO LEAVES YOU LEFT BEHIND
A FATHER IS'NT SOMEONE WHO SAYS ONE THING TO ONE PERSON THEN SAYS ANOTHER THING TO SOMEONE ELSE
A FATHER IS’NT WHAT I SEE IN YOU” 

Seinoritus

Sitting here waiting
Watching the clock slowly tick
Tic toc Tic toc
The days go by slowly
It's April and May is nowhere in sight

It is getting harder to wake up in the morning
Pushing the snooze button once again
Trying to find reasons to stay home
The mind is elsewhere, floating in the clouds

May is finally here
Graduation is full speed ahead
Seinoritus is getting worse
The heart is set on graduation 
The mind wants to sleep in 'til noon

BAM
Graduation is finally here
That was the cure needed all along

Javon Jimenez

God bless his soul, I got the honor to meet him and become his friend like my freshman year, Catherine introduced me to him and after we started being friends, I would see him every time I would go to Catherine's house because he would literally be around where she lives all the time. I loved his company we were good friends. When I found out that he passed away that really broke my heart because I knew that he had lots of long time goals and he was a good kid who wouldn't look for trouble. Seeing him on the news I really couldn't believe it and then I texted Catherine to see if it was true and it was, I cried I'm so emotional when it comes to things like this but its still crazy how this happened and till this day it still doesn't feel real, may his soul rest in peace.

Catherine Pineda


This girl right here knows me like nobody else, she understands me and I appreciate our friendship so much, we used to be so close, back when she was at peace street but then we grew apart because she changed to public street and that's when everything changed. I love her so much, I miss having those talks with her and sleeping over her house, staying up until like 4 in the morning then going to sleep to wake up at 7 am to go to the beach, I miss her family, I really thought we were going to be best friends till after we graduate but a lot of things changed, were not as close anymore but were still friends and I still and will always love her the same. I just hope that one day we reunite and go back to the way we were before.

The first time I got my belly pierced...

The first time I got my belly pierced I did it myself, I was so scared because I thought I was going to do something wrong and I was so nervous but I did it, I was 15 in a half, I took a needle and tried to stick it through my stomach but it hurt too much so I just went to the kitchen and got some ice and I numbed it a little so it would hurt less and I just did it and I was so happy but then I had to hide it from my mom for like two days and then she noticed that I was acting weird s she noticed and she pulled up my shirt and saw what I did and she got mad so she told me to take it off and I did, I wanted to keep it on but I couldn't so I begged her to take me to get it re pierced on my 16th birthday and she agreed to and she took me. When we got to the place I was scared but ready to get it done. Then he took the needle and stuck it right through, I don't know why it didn't hurt the second time but it hurt the first time, the heeling process was a pain but I'm so happy it's about to make 2 years with it pierced and I don't have to worry about it heeling anymore.

Linda

"Linda listen to me listen to me" I will miss you so much, you sure know how to make people laugh and smile. You brighten anyone's day and know the right things to say when someones not having a good day. You're the coolest person I know. Here's a quote that represents you...

"Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher."

LOVE YOU LINDA

My two angels

Emily and Leonardo, these are my two little cousins. They live in New York with their mom, my cousin (their dad) lives here in Rhode Island and there's not one day that he doesn't think about them. Our family was so close and something happened and we are no longer the same. It's crazy how things happen so quick and then we end up being strangers. Their mom is the sweetest thing ever her name is Zaida, she is Dominican and when she used to live here with my cousin we used to have fun every summer and I remember her and my cousin actually being in love and happy, then they started arguing a lot and their relationship went down the drain, they're still married but my cousin is going to file a divorce against her soon because he wants nothing to do with her, she is the only person that I could actually relate to and actually be myself around her. My family loved her so much well I sill love her a lot and care about her till this day and I don't think that's ever going away, I just miss her so much and wish our family went back to the way we were before.
MY MOTHERS LOVE IS SO STRONG, 
MY MOTHERS LOVE BRINGS ME UP, 
I CAN FEEL THE WARMNESS OF HER HEART WHEN SHE HOLDS ME TIGHT, 
MY MOTHERS LOVE IS SO PURE I'M NOT AFRAID, 
WHEN SHE HOLDS ME TIGHT I FEEL SO SAFE IN HER ARMS, 
NOTHING CAN BRAKE MY MOTHERS LOVE, 
SHE LOVES ME REGARDLESS OF WHAT I AM, 
MY MOTHERS LOVE IS THE ONLY THING SO A LIVE, 
MY MOTHERS LOVE CANT BRAKE OVER A LIE, 
MY MOTHER LOVES MY ONLY LIFE, 
SHE ACCEPTS AND HAS NO REGRETS, 
MY MOTHER LOVES JUST THE WAY GOD GAVE, 
MY MOTHER MEANS THE WORLD TO ME, 
WITHOUT HER LIFE WOULD'NT MEAN A THING, 
MY MOTHERS LOVE MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.

Phenomenal Women

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Selfies for daysss


when I first met you..

When I first met you
I felt like I had known you forever,
telling you my secrets
and what I didn't want ever.
you listened to me
I bet you thought I'd never end,
who would have thought
we would become more than just friends.
Over a period of time,
I got to know the real you.
A boy so caring and gentle,
with a heart so true.
You've survived your life
with hurt and loneliness by your side.
I told you I'd never leave
because of the feelings I have inside.
I know you
like no one I have ever known,
and sometimes I wonder
what I'd do if you were gone?
So I have decided
time answers all.
If it is meant to be
time will remove the wall.
I love the way we are together,
you can always make me smile.
Will it ever really be forever?
I guess I will have to wait awhile.
Time will reveal, what lies ahead
but always remember
what I have said.
Meeting you has changed my life
and I really love you so,
the feelings I feel for you
I am never letting go.
Remember me always
and I will too.
I always think of
me and you.

One of the rappers I listen to.

Aubrey Drake Graham also know as Drizzy Drake. Born on October 24, 1986 I always listen to drake and I love listening to his music. Some of the quotes that I like from him as well are:


Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are


“Everybody talk and everybody listen, but somehow it’s always the truth that comes up missing.”


“Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending.”


“I’m really tryna make it more than what it is, cause everybody dies but not everybody lives.”


“They say real girls ain’t never perfect, perfect girls ain’t never real.”

Cutting my hair..



I had cut my hair like 2 months ago and I kind of regret doing it just because I'm not used to having short hair so it's taking time for me to actually start getting used to it. I cut it because I was tired of my hair and I wanted to change it up a bit so I cut it myself. I was actually shocked of how short my hair actually came out to be and scared of what my mom was going to say, one of the reasons also why I cut it was because my ends were really bad and needed to be cut but if I went to a salon to cut it they would actually have cut it shorter than I cut it so I just thought to myself "why not do it yourself" so I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and I took some scissors and I just did it. When I was all done cutting my hair I was shocked and went to my mom and said "Hey mom look what I did" when she looked at me there was nothing but a surprise look on her face, I think she was more shock than I was. Then she asked me why I did it and I explained why. She started laughing and said "You're crazy" and I said "I know" and I walked away, everybody was shocked when they saw how short my hair was, but 1 month after I then realized "Prom is coming up!" I started to go crazy because I started to think about how I was going to my hairstyle for prom, so I went on Google and started searching up dos for short hair and seeing so many nice hairstyles gave me a little confidence so I picked one and when I went to do my hair the lady said "your hair is so short" but she said she could work something out so I relaxed a little but she also said that the hairstyle wasn't going to come out the same way the picture shows it but I said that I don't care as long as it looks nice after. When she finished doing my hair I looked at it and I fell in love, she did a miracle on my hair because I actually thought it was going to come out looking horrible. I was happy. Now I just want my hair to grow back fast because I love having long hair and I told myself I would never cut my hair ever again.

Prom Night 2014



This had to be one of the best nights of my high school career, I had so much fun with my friends and my boyfriend at prom. It was such an amazing night, getting a chance to share a special moment with special people in my life. I was really nervous because I thought that nothing was going to come out the same way I wanted it to be, and it was sort of like that because I had a little situation with the car and how we were getting there, I wanted to rent a car that day and when I went to the car rental place they said I had to make a deposit of $200 and I didn't know that so I couldn't rent it so instead what I did was that I washed my mom’s car and I just used that one instead, besides that little misunderstanding my night was amazing. It was a special moment for me and my boyfriend because that was the first time that we ever went out so fancy and dressed up, it was exciting especially for me, I honestly wish we can go back to this night and just relive it. We will have more nights similar to this because for my 18th birthday I want to go out to a fancy dinner and then after go to the beach at night and watch the sun set, it will be a beautiful night. I'm really excited for the summer and spending it with friends and family and my boyfriend, it'll be lots of fun I know it.

Amber :)

This right here is my everything, ever since me and Amber started being friends its been nothing but good and we've been getting closer, I love Amber's personality and just love having her vibe around. This poem really explains her:



To me you are an angel in disguise.
Full of intuition, intelligent and wise.
Always giving and helping through good times and bad times.
You are the best friend I've ever had.

If I had one wish it would surely be
to give you as much you've given me

Though I've put our relationship through some cloudy days,
you've been my sunshine in so many ways.
Though trials and tests, right by me you stood,
and gave me your hand whenever you could.

Thank you so much my sister, my friend
My gratitude for you has no end..

My two cousins



This right here are my two cousins, Yordy is the one on the left, his sister Yordiana the one on the middle which turns 18 today May 1st, and of course me the one on the right. Yordy practically raised me and was always by my side, I thank god that I still have him in my life and I didn't lose him to the streets of New York because when we used to live in New York he would love being in the street and be in gangs and sell drugs but not anymore he left that life because he knows that his life and his family are more important than anything else. So now he lives here with us in Rhode Island and I'm glad he chose a better lifestyle not only for him but for his 2 kids he is fighting for. Every time I see him I get happy and glad he's still with us, I wouldn't know what I would do if I lost my cousin. Also his sister Yordiana, our moms raised us together and when I say together I mean attached to the hip, we would basically live together. I love my two cousins they mean so much to me and I'm so thankful for them. Yordy is like a second father to me, he always gives me advice when I need it and when I don't but it always comes in handy. It has been a true journey growing up with these two and I'm looking forward to seeing how far our family goes.
