2. Though April showers
May come your way,
They bring the flowers
That bloom in May;
& if it's raining,
Have no regrets;
Because, it isn't raining rain, you know,
It's raining violets.
& when you see clouds
Upon the hill,
You soon will see crowds
Of daffodils;
So keep on looking for the bluebird,
& listening for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.

3. My Favorite Poem
I Wonder As I Wander
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
Why do people I care about
Always have to die?
Are you happy where you are,
Wherever that may be?
I wonder as I wander,
Do you still think of me?
Is it nice up there in heaven?
For I know you made it there.
Are the clouds made out of marshmallows?
Do you know that I still care?
I look up at the winter sky,
And shed a single tear.
I think of all the days gone by,
I'll always hold you dear.
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
Why do people I care about
Always have to die?
~ Hilary Begleiter

4. Norma Rae
Long brown hair and brown eyes
Daughter of Ramon and Norma Ayala
Who loves Banda, Tumblr, & her cell phone
Who feels indifferent about many things
Who needs music, the internet, & Twitter
Who gives honesty, trust, & a smile when necessary
Who fears death, the dark, & being lost
Who'd like to see the Eiffel Tower some day
Who dreams of making her parents proud
A student of Memorial High School

5. I Wish Poem
I wish I had four day weekends
I wish I had an older brother
I wish summer vacation was more than 2 months
I wish soccer season was longer
I wish we didn't have STAAR
I wish winter vacation was all of December
I wish I had a magic wand
to make all my wishes
come true.
