Poem: Among The Palm Trees

A poem dedicated to the Sunshine State

96
Poem: Among The Palm Trees
Elise Camuso

The place I have been traveling since a young child,

One that fills my heart with joy;

A place where cold hearts become reconciled,

While spirits and happiness soar.


Boarding the plane while seeing many different faces

Of people from all walks of life;

Children and families from all different places

Sharing this two-hour flight.


Looking out the window,

I see clouds of beautiful shapes;

I rest my head on my pillow,

Wondering how much longer it will take.


Soon we will reach our destination,

The wonderful and warm place;

All of our hearts are filled with elation,

While we are headed toward Sunshine State.


At last our flight has landed,

We clap and cheer with joy;

Our glee and content seem so candid,

As we enter the warm breeze enchanted.


Nana and Papa are waiting for us,

right outside the airport doors;

As soon as I see them I go absolutely nuts,

This was the moment I was waiting for.


I have finally entered a calm state of mind,

I think I found the secret formula;

In order to search what I'm trying to find,

I have to be in Florida.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
