Wranglers

Wranglers
My mom has a friend and her name is Mary Byrd. She is about 5 ½ feet tall, she has dark brown hair, and her hair is short and really curly. On the 16 of June, I, my mom, and Mary went to Wranglers. Wranglers is a really big campsite by Kentucky Lake. It is a place where people can ride their horses on trails that were made for horses to walk on. Before we went, Mary picked up her horse Son, and my horse Bill. Son was half Quarter Horse and half Racking Horse, he was about 15.2 hands tall, and a chestnut color), and Bill he was a Quarter Horse, about 14.2 hands tall, and was the same color that Son is. I went with Mary because I wanted to spend some time with her while my mom was at work. We both went to her house and she waited for her husband Jay Byrd to get home so she can put the three horses in their four horse trailer with living quarters. The other horse that we brought was Buck, a Saddle Horse. He is a dark Chestnut horse, but looks like he is a brown, with light brown spots that weren’t really noticeable, and he is about 15.2 hands tall. It took at least 10 minutes to get Bill in the trailer. Then we went to Wranglers, we unloaded the horses and put them in their stalls. The next day, we saddled up the horses and took them on a trail for about 5 hours. The worse part that started to make me dislike Mary so much was that Mary did not even try to start a conversation with me, she only talked to me and it made me feel left out and that they did not care that I was there not talking. That night, I told my mom what was hurting my feelings, but the horse that I rode Buck made me start to feel better. When I told my mom what was wrong with me, she said that she was really sorry and I thought that she was going to tell Mary what is wrong with me but she didn't. The last day that we were going to be riding, when we went to another trail, but that day was the same except a little worse because they only waited for me and only basically said one sentence to me and that was making me hurt the insides of me so I started to cry. After riding for about an hour and thirty minutes it started to rain and we were getting soaked. It rained for about 45 minutes while we were on the trail and then we went to camp and stayed there until 4:30. That was the worse part because it made me feel like I wasn't important to them. The rain kept on raining at the camp so Mary and my mom put their chairs under the trailer and sat there until Jay got there. When I had to put Son up somewhere, I went to the trailer and sat on her bed and read a magazine called Perfect Horse and was reading about the disease called Strangles that horses can get and the symptoms and what to do, but my mom said that she was ready to go home and I didn’t want to because I still wanted to ride horses. When I realized that Son wasn’t going to come home, I started to cry because I was going to miss him. I wasn’t used to having him not here with me and not used to not feeding him. Finally I was able to feed him and be with him because after a week of being at Mary’s house, he finally came home and I was so happy about it. By: Stephanie Lee

The Loveable, Laughing Couple

The Loveable, Laughing Couple


Two happy grins stare while
their photo is being taken,
as the couple relax on the big fluffy couch
they are wrapped in a blanket full of love
and care for one another.
Looking through their eager eyes
you can sense the two are becoming one.


As I focus the camera on the lounging couple
I, too, see the future they are waiting to share,
when I snap the picture I capture their smiles
and loving hearts forever,
In an image that will always hold valuable memories.


Their hair reflects a wedding band
as Jeremy’s is as shiny
as a diamond reflecting in the sun
While Amy’s hair is a golden as the
band encasing the jewel.


Pictures like this help
my family and I remember
how much the prized couple mean to us.
Our family loves them so dearly,
we hate it when they leave to go home
which is many miles away.
Jeremy can sometimes be a kitten,
At other times he will hiss like a cheetah.
Don’t be surprised if someone is pounced on,
And be aware if he starts to play rough.


“Ha Ha Ha,” is all that can be heard
When they are around,
Because of the entertaining jokes
that my family tells in settings such as this leisurely afternoon.


The news of a new baby in the family
brings smiles to their faces,
They can’t wait until
Their names are replaced with aunt and uncle.


In the future this couple will be
a mom and a dad,
but right now they want to
prepare by nurturing their blossoming relationship.


When around them
I feel very special because
They are the loveable, laughing couple,
that I respect, love and admire.

Drinkin

Drinking & Driving
I look at your pictures every single day
And wonder why you were taken away
I know you did not want to go
You wanted to stay and watch your children grow
Your sudden death hurt everyone including me
And the man who killed you was set free
I know you will never get to walk me down the aisle
To give me away with your beautiful smile
I was your baby and filled your world
But now I'm no longer
Daddy's Little Girl
In my heart you will always stay
And I will love you day by day
All of this will happen to many alive
If friends let friends drink and drive

I Cried

Her dad was a drunk
Her mom was an addict
Her parents kept her
Locked in an attic
Her only friendwas a little toy bear
It was old and worn out
And had patches of hair
She always talked to it
When no one's around
She lays there and hugs it
Not a peep of sound
Until her parents
unlock the door
Some more and more pain
She'll have to endore
A bruise on her leg
A scar on her face
Why would she be
In such a horrible place?
But she grabs her bear
And softly crys
She loves her parents
But they want her to die
She sits in the corner
Quiet but thinking,"Please God, why is
My life always sinking?"
Such a bad life
For a sad little kid
She'd get beaten and beaten
For anything she did
Then one night
Her mom came home high
And the poor child was beaten
As hours went by
Then her mom suddenly
Grabbed for a blade
It was sharp and pointy
One that she made
She thrusted the blade
Right in her chest,"You deserve to die
You worthless peice of shit!
The mom walked out
Leaving the girl slowly dieing
She grabbed her bear
And again started crying
Police showed up
At the small little house
Then quickly barged in
Everything quiet as a mouse
One officer slowly
Opened a door
To find the little girl
Lieing dead on the floor
It must have been bad
To go through so much harm
But at least she died
With her best friend in her arms
A child dies every day from child abuse. And if you have an ounce of pity in you for Auroura (the little girl),and you hate child abuse with a passion,you will repost this and help out those abused children,and let them know that someone cares for them.It doesn't take that long only about 10 secondsso please just do it.
