Cheese is the goal, right?

We had to write a tanka in class the other day, but I didn't get to finish the one I was working on. So I made a new one. Saying it's cheesy is kind of an understatement, but I had fun. =)

Tanka: an unrhymed Japanese verse form of five lines containing five, seven, five, seven, and seven syllables respectively

January snows

Shall never dampen our days

The happy flakes dance

Across the fields like fairies

Knowing spring will come again.

Cheers,

Lauren

Shaken, by Hawk Nelson

Here are the lyrics to another song I really like. I'm putting the video in the videos I like section.

I've stood alone a million times

That's not the same as being alone

I've felt ignored, and left behind before

But that's not the same as being disowned

Open my eyes, and help me see

that there's a world outside of me

I'm no different, I want to make a difference tonight

The words don't always come out right

And I don't normally cry

But you didn't see the look in her eyes

I've been shaken

From my head, on down to my toes

Lord use me, take me where you want me to go

I can't help it, my heart has been replaced with a face

I'm ready, these hands are dedicated to change

I've hurt before, but held inside

I've seen their tears, 'cause pain is something they can't hide

What makes us different?

We have a chance to listen tonight

The words don't always come out right

And I don't normally cry

But you didn't see the look in her eyes

open my eyes

I've been shaken

From my head, on down to my toes

Lord use me, take me where you want me to go

I can't help it, my heart has been replaced with a face

I'm ready, these hands are dedicated to change

I've been shaken

From my head, on down to my toes

Lord use me, take me where you want me to go

I can't help it, my heart has been replaced with a face

I'm ready, these hands are dedicated to change
