  7. Ode To My Computer By Bianey Oyos You come in different sizes, colors and soon perhaps flavors too You make my fingers cramp from punching your soft letters Your icons confused me when I first looked at you You don’t mind if I lay you on my lap or if I set you on the ground You take me places I never thought I could, MySpace for one OH computer how can I live without you If I need you for my everyday survival You make me happy when you function but drive me crazy when you get a virus I wish a virus was like a simple cold So I could cure you with a warm soup and that’s all Now, I have spent all my savings on you But what can I do if I need you

  8. Ode To My Sister You are a heart of forgiveness When people have done you wrong You are a free spirit That is not to be held down You are an eager soul Taking on the world You are a creator of happiness In all of those around you You are a trustworthy person To be a keeper of secrets You are a kind of teacher Who has taught me right from wrong along the way You are an encourager of hopes and dreams You are not only my sister You are also one of my best friends By Danielle Linker Growing up, I saw you as a queen Eight years older than me I constantly look up to you You are a shoulder to cry on When my heart is weeping You are the light in a dark, Long, windy tunnel You are a warm, caring phone call In the darkest nights You are a comforting smile On a path of struggles You are giver of advice When some is much needed
