A poem I wrote when I was in Junior High...
A plain paper,
Nothing to see.
But, with me, I see everything.

In the past, scribbles.
In the future, paperwork.
In the present, my math homework.

But, I go beyond that,
I see what could happen
I see what would've happened

I learn my lessons,
And I realize I have lessons to learn.

I see that good friends
Are friends I can trust,
Friends I can rely on.

Can I really see this?
Of course I can.
But the question is,

Can you?
