“My First Car”

My first car-was bright orange and black,
it was a 1975 chevy pickup-with a short back
I was 18 and very proud of my chevy,
it was the coolest truck it could be.

It was a 8 cylinder-and sounded awesome
in mint condition-and boy did it run
Like a show truck-one of a kind,
sounded mighty -and it was mine.

Diamond tucked seats-custom gear shift
cruising down our main-thought we were swift
Wanting to race-I was feeling a rush.
he yelled-got a briggs a stratton to us

I stepped on the gas-the tires did spin
all I could think of -was I wanted to win
When I turned to see if I had won the race
I heard sirens and red lights were in my face

This poem is written by Rhonda Hiler about her very first car! I wanted to post a poem about this because I’m getting very excited to get my license. It’s so weird to think that I’m already 16! This poem made me even more giddy! How were you feeling when you got your very first car??

Another Year on Planet Earth

My 16 birthday is on sunday, April 28, and I am sooooo excited! I found this poem and thought it was fit for the occasion. Comment below what you think of it!

Birthday Anniversary    © 

Each year our birthday forces us to grow
Into the person whom we have yet to know
With circumstances that hopefully have made us wise
When we learn from our multitude of mistakes and tries.

To take a long look at these years gone past
To really reflect on how time travels fast
To know that every day that each of us lives
Is a great gift from God that He lovingly gives.

So as you celebrate another passing year again
On this day that marks the beginning of the moment when
You entered this world for a purposeful plan
Just remember your worth doesn’t come from man.

Your worth comes from our Creator who made you unique
Who gave you knowledge and words to speak
Who doesn’t care about a past success or failure
But only cares about your heart that His presence makes pure.

False paths, lost dreams, wrong choices, it’s true
Fills your past as well as everyone else’s, too
There may be those lost memories that hinder your day
But with God in your mind the regrets soon melt away.

Cherish this day and who you’re growing to be
This special person that all of us already see
Embrace this coming year and live each day anew
By becoming the excellent one God created in you.
