Guest Blogger!! All the Little Things

This is an awesome piece of creative writing from my student, Jon Blevins.  He has agreed to be my GUEST BLOGGER and share his poem with you!  Jon is a great guy, who I have really enjoyed having in class this year.  He is full of deep thoughts.  Earlier this week he came to class and shared his poetry notebook with me.  It’s AWESOME!  So… I asked him to guest blog.  Here is the poem that I asked him to share….

All the Little Things

Lying sleepless at night

feeling all of the fright

from all I’ve done

from what I’ve become

for everything that I am

for all I stand

Really, is this me?

Tell me, cause I can’t see

for I live in the dark

and I’ve been hurt in the heart

I still try not to be mad

cause all it does is make me sad

so I turn to the Little Things

hope that happiness it does bring

then a little hope I find

and my sorrows I leave behind

then I find I’m a little happy

and then my life I can see

all because of the little things

without them I would die

about that I won’t lie

for with one smile that I gain

I can forget all my pain

all because of the little things

a look from someone that I see

of good times can remind me

cause these things I feel alive

and then I’m alright

so when I’m lying sleepless at night

feeling all of my fright

I just think of the Little things

and feel all the hope they bring
