#1-Christmas Talk:
Ding dong ding dong ring
December 25th is officially Christmas Eve
A season of gift exchanging, gathering, and joy
A day to remember the birth of a young baby boy
His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God
The One in many Christmas stories and Christmas songs
In this time of year, many exciting gifts are given about
But let’s not forget the wonderful gift throughout
God gave His son and His son gave his life
That each of us might have the gift of Eternal life
Without Christ there would be no Christmas
Without Christmas there can be no fullness of joy within us
There’s Christmas in the home within the family
With lights sparkling as bright among the fence or around a tree
There’s Christmas in the church within members that we see
We stick together talk together always filling the room with glee
Christmas is the joyous and memorable time of the year
It is also the day our Savior was born in lowly manger
A child like you and me born of innocence and fair
Yet turned out to be the Son of God and King to the heir
Yet, in today’s day and time it’s easy to lose sight
Of the true meaning of Christmas and that one special night
When we go shopping, we say “How much will it cost?”
Then the true meaning of Christmas somehow become lost
The children awaits for the presents on Christmas day
Never thinking of the child whose bed was made of hay
Every time we look up into the beautiful night sky
We would catch a glimpse of a star shining bright on high
That is a faithful reminder of that night so long ago
The night of our Saviors birth that we all have heard and know
Yes, Christmas is a season to celebrate and sing with cheer
But it’s also a time to recognize the reasons why we are here
A short story I will share with you my family and friends
A story that just might not have an end
I grew up in the island of Tonga in the small town of Mau’fanga
With a wonderful family of Luseane and Fanga
Every Christmas year is a time to celebrate
My mom and I will start to take out the lights to decorate
A mother and daughter moment that still goes on today
But, a family moment when we are done with our day
The night comes and we turn on the lights
The family would watch and enjoy as they shine so bright
Little did I know, my family wasn’t the only ones enjoying the view
Also our neighbors would stand across the street and watch as a group
One group would point and smile
The other would point and say “The house is on fire”
To me the Christmas lights brought happiness to the neighbors
But now that we are here, I wonder how Ma’ufanga feels without us there
I miss those days but they would never be forgotten
Those wonderful faces with smiles that’ll never be broken
Every Christmas year I think of this time
Not only that, but also of our Savior’s time
Remember the story of the Savior’s birth
Without him, we wouldn’t be here on this earth
Nourish the story and keep it in mind
It’s the only reason why there’s a Christmas time
Zoom, click, flash, print, gone
My book is called Flash Burnout by L.K. Madigan
In this book you will read about friendship, love, and loyalty
The main three genres that young teenagers can apply to their daily vitality
It starts with the 15 yr. old Blake
Nice, funny, &making sure nothing goes in stake
And Shannon ; a total girlfriend, who loves Blake very much
And Marissa a good fellow friend who needs Blake to stay in touch
Click, Blake caught a street person on his camera
Print, it came out to be Marissa’s long-lost addicted meth mother
Because of a shutter release, a picture was caught
This one picture turned Blake’s world throughout
Blake’s participation in the ensuing drama
Opens up a world of trouble for both him&Marissa
Yet, he spends the next few months trying to reconcile,
The conflicting roles of a boyfriend and a friend stacked in a pile
Blake started spending more time with Marissa helping her bring her mother back
&Shannon became unhappy with the situation, she couldn’t act
With Shannon loving Blake & Marissa needing him
How could Blake capture a picture of both of them
This book is great for teens like you and me
Read it, find out, and you will see
#3- One of my 'I DONT REMEMBER THIS TALK' .. talk;
What is the meaning of Faith to me and you?
“If ye have Faith, ye hope for things which are true” (Alma 32:21)
In order for your faith to lead you to salvation,
It must be centered in the Lord Jesus Christ whom is in heaven
You can exercise your faith in Christ when you know he truly exists,
Knowing who he really is and a knowledge that you are willing to live his ways.
Have Faith by relying completely in the Lord Jesus Christ
Including trusting in his infinite power, love, &intelligence.
Also believe that he knows all things & believe his teachings,
And remember that he has experienced all our pains,afflictions,& infirmities.
He knows how to help you rise above your daily difficulties
“And he will take upon him death…that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities” (Alma 7:11-12)
Faith is much more than a passive belief,
You can express your faith through your actions&the way you live.
Having faith in Jesus Christ can motivate you to follow his perfect example
&it can lead you to do good, keep the commandments, and be humble.
Your faith can help you overcome temptations&repent of your sins
“Teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil, with their faith in the lord Jesus Christ” (Alma 37:33).
“Teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil, with their faith in the lord Jesus Christ” (
According to your faith, the Lord will work mighty miracles
&pour many blessings to you and your families every time you call.
Faith can give you strength to face your hardships w/ courage
You live by your faith, and you will continue standing on a good stage.
I grew up with a strong testimony of the church&I still have it today
This testimony came from the faith I had since I was 3 in nursery.
My faith is strong&it’s what I live by everyday at every hour,
I’m here to represent the Savior by being a good example to others.
We have the agency to choose&we must choose to do wise things
Not only for the lord but for yourself and your families.
Exercise your faith through prayer, church, &reading the scriptures
Three simple ways to start gaining your faith and believing in the Savior.
And now as I said concerning faith – faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. (Alma 32:21)
^^^I SERIOUSLY DONT REMEMBER THIS TALK! AHAHA^^^
#4-Another English Book Review;
Her name is Willow , she’s only a teenager
She’s trapped in a world of guilt, don’t blame her
She was just like you and me when it happened
In that one rainy night, just when the car crashed
She didn’t mean to loose control&loose both her father&mother
Not only that but also the close relationship between her and her brother
Moving into his place means new life and new friends
But it wasn’t enough because she kept thinking of the past
With a blade that’s silver yet so sharp
It can get rid of such past with just a cut
It didn’t matter how deep or how long
It just made her relieved but not strong
No one knows about this awful secret
But when she met Guy, she was no longer distressed
Complicated as she is, the first to know, the first to care
Guy did understand such despair
Did she overcome the past?
Did she earn her brother’s love?
How did Guy help Willow stop her cuts?
Check the book, read it, and find out!!

#5-Last English Book Review;
In Thalia Chaltas’ first novel “Because I am Furniture”
352 pages story of a girl named Anke who is often ignored
Her father, who is an abuser, attacks her brother and sister
But not Anke, NO, because she is furniture
The youngest of 3 is an invisible witness in a house of horror
Often feels trapped, trapped in a little corner
Because of her fear, she often stays quiet
If she continues this silence at home, who’s going to act?
Not her mother, no, the sweet, the meek, and the mild
Not her siblings, no, the innocent, the teenagers, yet still Childs
Now it’s up to Anke the quiet, the kind, and the youngest
To stop her father the abuser, the monster, and the BEAST
Volleyball, a place where Anke can feel confident and free
A sport where she could yell and shout with glee
Why volleyball? How could volleyball change her life?
Because of volleyball, she bellows with a voice thick as ice
She had found a voice she never knew existed inside of her
With this voice, anyone could hear her, &hopefully at home by her father
But it might take awhile for Anke to take action towards this monster
A monster that comes home everyday beating her brother or sister
What a life to live at a home;a life full of grief and pain
The only ways to escape this misery is attending school&meet with friends
Another is to be lost in the eyes of a boy you adore
That one soccer guy who gives you butterflies as he walks through the doors
Kyler, tall, handsome, smart, & an athletic young freshman
Can make Anke melt with a smile and a touch of his hand
Still, when school ends, volleyball begins.
When volleyball ends, anxiety begins
Anxiety hits as Anke gets ready to go home,
Just to face more cries & more sorrows
Anke becomes tired of this painful environment under one single roof
She wants to make an end to this madness and expose the truth
With thoughts of what to do to end such madness
It started with a project plan that was set with a friend
Angie, annoying and stubborn, yet beautiful & young
If it wasn’t for this friend, nothing would be done
One day as Anke walks into her father’s office to meet up with Angie
She finds him in a position that wasn’t suitable to see
Because of what she saw that day, her feelings became words
Words that set a family free yet put Anke in a hospital bed
With Anke’s words and action, there is happiness and joy within her family
But she still regrets the fact that she didn’t take action the day she saw this misery
If you are interested in poems, read this Young Adult Fiction
I sure enjoyed it, so check it out as soon as you can.
#6-Another .. Book Review?Lol;
Dreamland is a secret story of a teenager's life
Her name is Caitlin and she lives in strife
She lived a normal life with a family, a sister, a friend
But this life came tumbling down; about to end
Her sister Cass made a choice to run away
Making minutes feel like days
The family went through the pain and the sorrow
It made Caitlin feel as if there will be no morrow
Until she met Rogerson Biscoe, the guy of her dreams
He makes her feel like life was not as it seems
When she's with him she feels complete and less stressed
Because he's brilliant, compelling, but yet dangerous
Caitlin wanders in a dreamland of drugs and nightmare
Always awaiting Rogerson's sudden fist to fly in the air
The bruises and pains kept her distant from those she loved
Because of this it sets her on a different path
The friends she adores and the parents she admire
Became invisible in her life setting her heart on fire
She was finally different as she always wanted to be
Different but attached to her boyfriend's life, her sweetie
The life she was entering was a macabre nightmare
She wanted someone to listen and save her from despair
But what kept her from sovereignty was being without him
Because he became a drug with eyes as dark as her dream
Being with Rogerson there was only pain and agony
But being without him made Caitlin feel incomplete&unhappy
This book is excellent for teenagers who lives this life
If you read this book you'll feel this character's strife
