Hey Stephen By: Taylor Swift

Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving (Stephen has good looks)

But know I saw a light in you (but there’s more inside besides good looks)

And as we walked we would talk

And I didn’t say half the things I wanted to (didn’t get to say that she likes you)

Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window (popular and is very attractive)

I’ll be the one waiting there even when it’s cold (I care about you more)

Hey Stephen, boy you might have me believing

I don’t always have to be alone

[Chorus]

Cause I can’t help it if you look like an angel (she can’t help that she loves you because you look like an angel)

Can’t help it if I want to kiss you in the rain, so

Come feel this magic I’ve been feeling since I met you (she feels like you could be the one)

Can’t help it if there’s no one else (there’s no one else but you, you’re the only one she loves)

Mmmm I can’t help myself

Hey Stephen, I’ve been holding back this feeling (she felt embarrassed to tell you she likes you)

So I’ve got some things to say to you

I’ve seen it all, so I thought

But I’ve never seen nobody shine the way you do (I’ve seen who you really are and you’re amazing)

The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name

It’s beautiful, wonderful, don’t you ever change (everything about you is amazing)

Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving (people are leaving you)

I think you and I should stay the same (she likes everything they have together and wants it to stay the same)

[Chorus]

They’re dimming the street lights, you’re perfect for me (you’re exactly the way I want you)

Why aren’t you here tonight? (You should be with me)

I’m waiting alone now so come on and come out (I’m lonely so come here)

And pull me near and shine, shine, shine (pull me closer to you and shine like you always do)

Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons

Why I should be the one you choose (I have reasons why I am the one for you)

All those other girls, well they’re beautiful (the other girls are pretty that like you but…)

But would they write a song for you? (but do they write songs about how they love you and songs about you)

[Chorus]

Myself

Can’t help myself (I need you because you’re great)

I can’t help myself

Letter to Ashley Baalke

Dear Ashley,

Oh my ashley. You've been my friend for about…3 years now. It has seemed longer but years go by slow. Could you imagine not being friends with me? It all started with soccer and me transffering out of Ms. Williams class. You make me jealous about how your hair always goes perfectly where you want it to and how good you are at sports. We get mad at each other for extremely stupid stuff but we always know everything will turn out ok. Well ashley, look at the people we've become. I'm very proud.

LOVE,

Sarah (SAR)  

Hair Poem

Hair makes you smile

Hair makes you frown

It can be longer than a mile

But the best part Is how good it looks with a gown

Quote

When people read quotes, they never really think about what it truly means. They will read and say "oh that's really good", but they don't stop and think about the meaning, and what the message is beneath the words. While I was reading a quote that said "Dream as if you'll live forever and live as if you'll die today", I was thinking about what the message and meaning was and how powerful little amounts of words are.

The first part of the quote was "dream as if you'll live forever". Dreams can be anything. They can be realistic, they can be fantasy, or they can be dreams that are too good to be true. What this part of the quote is trying to say is that you should keep dreaming on everything that is possible for you to accomplish. Dream until your life ends and don't stop until it does.

Beneath the second part is the strongest piece of the quote. When you live as if you'll die today, it means that you will do anything as if this very day was your last. Usually people would take the craziest risks and do the most extreme things because they knew if they got killed, it wouldn't matter because they would die soon anyways. But if today was my last, I'd want to be with the most special people in my life and not worry about dieing in almost no time. All I'd want to do is make every moment count until it's over.

Patriotism

Everyone thinks of patriotism in different ways. Most people think of it as love and dedication to one's country. But then again, some don't even believe there is such a thing as patriotism. A good amout of citizens in a country show patriotism by waving their country's flag, thinking of memorable days the country has had, and singing songs that worship and thank their country.

It is very respectful to a country when a person waves their nation's flag. In the United States, you would usually see people in parades on the Forth of July waving their falg. That is showing that the people care for thier country and they are patriots. People who are mad that there is war, or don't agree with government and leadership will burn their flag. The ones who love their country will not let their flag touch the ground becasue that is very disrepectful to the country.

If you ask someone for their country's most memorable day of the year, it will most likely be for them to say thier independence day. In the United States, 9/11 was one of the saddest and unforgotten days of the year. The two most famous structures in the U.S got torn down by other country's citizens. A lot of people cry, visit graves, and pray on that day every year. Also, this day is known as the "Patriot Day". Patriots alwasy worship the sad and happy days that came to their country.

As long as there are patriots, there will be patriotism. Everyone should know that there is someone looking out for them and keeping them safe, but also patriots should know that there are people relying and caring for them too. Even though some people don't fight in wars like true patriots, it doesn't mean that they aren't patriots at all. Flying your flag, respecting unforgettable days, and singing your nations songs, is showing that you are a patriot.

Man and Woman at a Train Station

A young man and woman were waiting at a train station on a frigid winter evening. The sound of the Christmas carolers and piercing rock music coming from teenagers ipod's was soothing but yet very annoying. Terrifying winds and intense lightning that lit the sky were shaking the windows forcefully. An old man was approaching everyone in the isle and asking for money for a cancer helping fundraiser. Even though he had no pan-flip or anything to prove there really was a fundraiser, it looked like he got a few people persuaded. As he was just finishing up the people before the man and woman, the train finally arrived.
