For You
I would give you my love that comes from my heart and everything that comes
within me
I would give you my love because you give me your all and all
I would give you my love because you make me feel 50 special
I would give you the world if I had it to give you Even though I don't have the world to give you
I can give you my heart
I would give my love because you are so kind and 50 sweet to me
I would give you the sun the stars
and the rainfall
as long as you are near me I would give you the angels because you are so sweet

Missing You, Mommy
I miss you because
you were a mother and a father to me
I miss you because
you were always there when I was going through alot of changes you knew my ups and downs and tried to tell me right from wrong
I miss you because you were so sweet to me - and I will always remember thee
I miss you
because you were a very special person to everybody including myself
I miss you because you would tell me how I am doing if I was doing good
I know Mommy, you.are up there with Christ our savior
and I know you are in good hands but I just miss you because
you were there with me
I never had to tell you
what was wrong with me
because that mother instinct always knew what was going through my head
and you always would tell me "No Kim! That won't get you through this world. You be the best you can oe through anything you do".
I LOVE YOU MOMMY! ! !
Love Kimberly

I AM A WINNER
I'm so thankful just to be thankful As a matter of fact I'm grateful
Life is so cold
To aChieve something YOU have to be bold To be independent And listen to other people's bad comments But like they say
if it ain't rough
It ain't right
To be productive
and Successful
is a sure delight!
PEACE, MY SISTER MY BROTHER TO ALL

A Mistake
A mistake I won't make again To fall in love and get
hurt when yo~ were
in it to win
You will never see me
fall like I did in the past trying to show a girl
I love her as well as kissin her #*1
I'll like to share
a little something
that I'll never forget about a girl that loved
at least I thought
now bust this
It had been 2 years since I seen her
I thought the feelings were strong
but what she did
she tried to play me
I see my feelings were wrong Jetted talking
hanging out at the dorm
could I go? She said " No because I'll be right back, love" It was bull 'cause
what she really meant
I'll see you in the morning I was all alone when
she was really harney
Push come to shove
she was out with another brother So I left her and refused
to get hurt by another
So i.f you meet a girl like this the best thing is to dismiss Ond if she's fake
don't be like me
and make a mistake

When you are near
I feel like a new person. When you are near
I feel like holding you and caressing your
whole body
When you are near
I feel a cool sensation through my spine
When YOU are near
I feel like a woman that was just born When you are near
I feel like a bag of jelly beans that are
very sweet
When you are near
I just feel like holding you and never letting you go When YOU are near
my ce~ebrum just swells up because YOU make me feel like
it's all about me.

What Christmas Means To Me
Christmas is a time for love and sharing
Buying presents, having fun and people caring
Being home, spending time with the ones you love Giving praise
to the man above
New falling snow
is on the ground Relatives and friends come around
This day we know
as the birth of Christ So love all people
and try to be nice
For this day that comes once a year
Merry Christmas
and
Happy New Year

Babies,Babies,Babies
They all need you to wash them
when they are dirty Feed them when they are hungry
Love them when
they need love Change them when
they need to be changed They need a good
role model-to show
them how to act
in the near future They need a family to take care of them

Under my Tree
I do not think that skies and meadows are
Or that with the fixture of a star
comes a quiet spirit
Or that trees have wi~dom in their windless silences Yet these are things invested in my mood
with constancy, peace
and f or t.Lt.ude
That in my troubled season I can cry upon the wide composure of the sky,
And envy fields
and wish that I might be as little daunted
as a star or a tree
I wish I may I wish I m~ght be blessed by the first star I see tonight

I FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF
I feel good about myself because I am myself once again I feel good about myself because I am drug free
I feel good about myself
because I am a responsible person I feel good about myself because I stayed in this program
I feel good about myself
because I am a healthy young lady
I feel good about myself because if I don't feel good about myself, when I do finish
this program I would go back out in the street and I would get high That's not what I want
I also feel good about myself because I would be a responsible young lady to my children and myself I feel good about myself because
I am looking good inside and out

\ " Sometimes i wonder
Why i took the wrong turn But since i'm here
I must learn
Somtimes i feel guilty For all the things i did I disappointed my family I even told fibs
Why on earth did i do that Stayed on the streets smoking crack
Went home too late Opened up my gate Then said to myself
I hate I hate I hate MYSELF!

"' II 12 What Christmas Is About
Christmas is a time of happiness and joy!
It is time for Santa Claus to give a toyl
We remember the day when Christ was born
It is a day to praise the Lord and not to scorn
It's also a time for
all the snow to be on the ground It is a time for the loved ones to stand under the misletoe
It is time for all of
the good food to be served
It's another year for the reindeer to bring Santa Claus to
the home so he can come down the chimmney
It's a time to go to church and give thanks to Christ
for making the world better We have our Christmas tree up
and we're singing the Christmas song The holiday is very special
so make the best of itl

NO SHORTS (revenge)
Rollin' over obstacles in my path At a rise like
Yeast in rye
Motivating, concentrating - now ask me why· Opinion or fact
Now it's time to tax in a way so Devastating. Now who's the MACK'?

I am medium sized I love when
they put me on
I feel so happy that I am the color I am
I am medium red
The part I like best
is when they slip me on I hug them up to when they take me off

"EXPRESS AND TRUST YOOH DEEPEST THOUGHTS
In my deepest thoughts it's hard for me to express my feelings
To tell and show you how much I feel and for you
Words can't explain the strong pain of love and joy
that's fufilled when I'm with you I get chills every time
I hear your name ~
I start thinking about you Wondering if you feel
the same
Or am I just fooling myself I love you because of
your sweet warm personality your soft lips
the way you say my name when I'm in"your arms holding you tight" kissing your ear caressing your body
making sweet passionate love like it would never end
I would give you your wildest fantasies on a gold platter I'll take you to a place
in your heart that you would never imagine
I'll strive to the fullest
to make your true deep feelings come out and make you feel secure when you're with me
There's no more I could say unless you meet me half way So let's take this trip
and make it work
An experience of pleasure
not a trip of mental pressure So feel open and secure
when I'm here and I promise
I won't hurt your feelings Don't worry
everything's gonna be alright only if you let it be r~ght
