A Lost Girl Searching
Light or Darkness
In pure flower, she rises
For spring brings forth grace
Sweaty blossom to appear,
A grace foretold so dear.
Underneath this tree grows up
Told trying to fill her cup.
Experience, Excitement, Desire
What she thought to admire.
Now Older looking so lost
Dawn to have trust.
She had wandered the lines,
But yet to be wise.
Lost into the sky of excitement,
Her grace strips to suffer confinement.
Sweet sleep come to her,
Yet no rest thy soul to be.
A shadow she kept
While Father, Mother slept
Thinking all is well
Her soul prison dwells.
Where is she at?
A snowy hill she sat.
A space of height
Not to lack but sight.
Tender love she seeks
To fill a soul which weeps.
A fountain she finds’
Flowing holy water refines.
Watery seamless flow
Dare desire to bestow.
Bring forth a sound,
A sought of peace found.
Wavy music sways thee
Asleep a sweet baby be.
Unsure a fury depth
A fountain so kept
Seems peaceful yet poison be
O! no uncertain to free,
To drown thy grace,
Seeks no more embrace.

Food Traditions!!
Tradition! Tradition!! Tradition!!! Is a specific value in my family that has to be observed? It falls mostly on Christmas through the New Year’s. People from all over the world have their own traditions and customs. Some of them are related to celebrating important events in country's history, and others are associated with family's customs. I have a favorite tradition in my family, which originates from the middle of last century. We come together in the New Year celebrating and make presents to each other. I like our tradition due to few reasons. Having a large family is a stress cake but the fun to it is cooking through the celebration festival, it brings out the skill, drama and fun in our family. It is a great opportunity to gather all family members together. We have relatives across the country, and we need a great effort to meet. Every year during the festival our families come together at my parents’ house. There is no cooking done until all the families are at the house on the 23rd of December.
