Poem of the Day: Helpless

Sometimes looking through my old poetry, its hard because it takes me back to the time of when I wrote the poem. The emotions of that time return, and I become handicap in that moment. Tonight I came across, Helpless. March 17, 2005 was a hard day. It was St. Patrick's day, whoever knew a day so lucky could become so unlucky. (I guess I'm not Irish though).









HELPLESS



Helpless.
What could I do?
Nothing, but think how cruel,
She’s only eleven,
Still barely a baby
As she cries and cry,
And I lie and lie,
How is she doing?
She is doing okay is what I reply,
Helpless.
What could I do?
Nothing, but wish her pain would quit,
Constant pain, bones split,
Helpless.
Left to watch her cry,
As she look to me for aid,
I look at her in shame,
Because there is nothing I can do,
I am left helpless.

Helpless

Random rant...........

As a child I remember wanting to be a teacher when I grew up. It was my third grade teacher Mrs. Rice who inspired me. She was small in stature, and always wore a smile. Her body size is what intrigued me the most. She was so tiny, however she could handle us unruly children. It was that primarily why I became interested in teaching. I believed that since I was tiny liker her, I could be a good teacher and handle my students as well as she did. As I aged my interest in teaching faded, and I found my gift. I was blessed in the 6th grade to come have Mrs. Weave as my 6th grade teacher. Though at first I didn't realize the impact she would have on my life, I do now. She instructed the class to write three poems after a class lessons. I wrote "What A Beautiful Day", "Friends", and "At Night". What a beautiful day,                                                             Wouldn’t you say?

My Journey...... So far..............

     When I graduated high school May 31, 2005. I enjoyed my summer. Then about August 25 I went down to Montgomery, Alabama to attend Alabama State University. While at Alabama State University I made friends and memories that will last with me for a life time.       Around the end of my sophomore year nearing spring break a representative from Walt Disney World college program came to our school. My best friends and I attended the presentation after we preregistered for our Fall 2007 classes. After we attended the presentation, we were invited to an interview. I went to my interview and the representative asked me to come and become an intern at Walt Disney World. I temporarily accepted the position. I called my mother excited as ever. I asked her do she think it would be a good idea if I went. She told me it was an opportunity of a lifetime and how could I even be thinking about it. I thought I would have to be take some time out of school, but she said I never been why not go for
