Ben's original composition at age 9

As tears now, fall from my eyes,
The beauty of your composition, i cannot disguise.
The breathtaking words and a delicate song,
Touched my heart so, i just couldn't go on,
Without telling you how much you have just done for me,
Giving me hope, that i will find my destiny.

Thank you.

"mounten summers!" by
http://www.youtube.com/user/lu luisgoing
The breeze comes. The sun beem through the leaves.
Pine leaves dance on their branches.
Birds sing and cherp. Squirls dance and play chatering, with each other as if to say,
come on man lets have fun today.
Listen to the stream as it passes by, trickling over rocks and broken branches.
Smell The wild flowers all in bloom,
mixed with pine and blue moss too.
What a sent you can't,
make only God could make it that way.
The breeze plays with my hair.
I just close my eyes and boom I'm there.
The sun dances on,
the leaves of green,
and shines on the ground below.
could it be mountain
summers just begun?
Oh what a sight to see.
Life comes out only to see,
and hide when it becomes dark.
Oh mountain summers,
please never end,
no chilly breezes,
only soft warm wind!
by Laurel Smith!
