Note to Self 

Take your time, and 

don’t stress so much 

or be so hard on yourself. 

If you rush, you won’t  

make it anywhere.  

Have faith in God 

and keep believing 

in the Lord. In the end, 

it will be worth it. 

Temptation and turn-ons hurt 

no matter how old you get. 

It’s those urges that land 

you in jail or even worse. 

But in my opinion,  

if I keep pressing forward 

with God on my side, 

I will be safe.  

Jeremiah McPherson 

Anthony Davis is Cool 

I love basketball 

and the Lakers. I 

would also love to be  

as good, fast 

and tall as him one day. 

Luke Staples 

Question Your Heart 

Opinionated voices spew tirades, 

smirks and chase agendas. 

How can they love one another  

with such contempt in their hearts. 

Wisemen control themselves and  

happily, live amongst the hateful. 

Stop, breathe-in and question  

what really drives you.  

Marc Livanos, Milton’s Poet Laureate
