A True Friendship



True Friends 

Not everyone around you is your friend.

Because they laugh with you,

Spend time with you, or even offer compliments?

That doesn't mean they have good intentions.

People can pretend well.

Indeed, they can… Beware!

In the West Side some may act supportive and kind,

But deep down, they may not wish you well.

True friendship is not about who’s around,

Dance with you during your good times.

 It’s about who stands by you during your tough times.

Real friends offer support,

Give encouragement,

Swear to keep a secret,

Share honesty, even truth hard to hear.

In the South Side,

Fake people will disappear when things get difficult.

They may even take pleasure in your struggles.

Look at how people act when you’re going through challenges.

Do they offer help, or do they gossip about your situation?

Real situations reveal true colors.

Often, when life gets hard,

Fake people can no longer keep up their act. 

In East Side, watch people treat others,

Someone who talks badly about others to you

surely does the same behind your back.

Be careful who you trust with your thoughts and emotions.

Not everyone who listens has good intentions.

Value those who are consistent, reliable, and honest.

Real friends celebrate your successes

 Without jealousy, without murmuring,

Real friends offer comfort without judgment. 

In the north side, surround yourself with good people,

 Who bring positivity and growth to your life,

Be mindful of quality rather than quantity.

Genuine friends are far better than a crowd of fake ones.

 Life becomes lighter with a positive goal,

When you know who truly stands with you.

So, observe carefully,

And never ignore the signs.

At the end of the day,

Real situations will always expose fake people.

A Poem For all Ages - MGS

I write a poem that makes the world see,    a woven thread wherein hearts can be free. I write a poem that older folks feel,    echoes of wisdom, truth that is real. I write a poem that the youngsters think,   a spark of imagination, a vibrant ink. I write a poem that made the world known,   in verses and stanzas, our stories are sown. I write a poem that makes the world blue,   a reflection of sorrow, a true glance. I write a poem that makes the older folks cry,   for memories cherished and moments gone by. I write a poem that makes youngsters mourn,   for dreams that have faded and hopes that are torn. I write a poem to make the world healed,   with love as the balm and compassion revealed. I write a poem to make the world smile,    a gentle reminder to pause for a while. I write a poem to make the older hope,   a bridge to the future, a way to cope. I write a poem to mak...

Plate Of Plenty

If you don't feel like eating, think of them! This photo has so much pain. 😒 Food is life, but brain fog for an ungrateful heart.  If you don't like what's on your plate,  don’t toss it aside, don’t seal its fate.  Each morsel holds a story, a journey begun, A  gift from the earth, a battle won.   Imagine a morning when the table is bare,  what will you do when hunger calls loud, No bread, no fruit, just an empty stare.  The abundant meals and the warmth of a feast, All vanish in silence and hunger unleashed.  When a pantry is empty, and your stomach aches.   Don't dare to wish!  So, before you discard what you do not desire, think  of the hands that toiled, the hearts that inspire.  Each bite is a blessing, a chance to reflect on  those who have little, on lives we protect.  So, savor the flavors, let gratitude flow, For  the food on your table, let appreciation grow.  For one day you may wake, a...

Gratitude for Provided Lunch

Why We Need to Stop Wasting Our School Lunch Recently, a teacher raised a frustrating concern: students are throwing away the school-provided lunches. It’s a tough conversation, but it is one we need to have. The lunch provided by the PSS (Public School System) is a privilege. Many communities and organizations do not have the resources to offer free daily meals, and we are fortunate to have this support. Being thankful for what we receive creates a better school environment and shows appreciation for the staff who work hard to feed us every day. If you don't want to eat your meal, please do not throw it in the trash. Give it to a classmate who wants it. Consistently discarding food creates negative feedback that could jeopardize the entire lunch program. If we want this program to survive, we need to adapt. That means being willing to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than just sticking to the usual foods we prefer. This program is an opportunity to build healthier eating habi...
