True beauty

Is there such a thing as natural beauty?

A four year old

Looks through a magazine

She peers down at a tall boney model with long bleached hair

I want to look like her someday she bellows

Braces

Makeup

Colored Contacts

Hair Extensions

The four year old is now seventeen

Her brown eyes are covered over by green contacts

Her freckles disappear underneath thick cover up.

Her crooked buck teeth filed down and straight

Her sweet plump face is sunken in and boney

Is there such a thing as natural beauty?

The Girl

Everyday I see the same girl at a park bench.  She's there rain or shine.  She's always by herself I never see her with anyone.  I wonder sometimes what she's doing there.  Is she waiting for someone? Is she hiding from someone, something?  I've thought about talking to her.  Maybe one day I'll introduce myself.  I noticed something that she holds in her hand as she sits.  It looks like a tie, why would she have a tie? Today I went by the park, she wasn't there.  She hasn't not been on that bench in 3 months.  Where is she?

Shake the Dust

This is for the single parents
This is for the athletes
This is for the drama kids
This is for the liars
This is for the ones that lost someone they love
This is for the ballerinas
This is for the highschool dropouts
This is for the drunks that can't put the bottle down
This is for the people starving on the street
This is for the little girl without a dad
This is for the highschool quarterback
This is for the family without a place to call home
This is for the confident girls
This is for you
The ones that cry when your laying in bed at night
This is for you

I Keep Forgetting

Last night I dreampt the same dream again
It's the 3rd time I have had it
I need to talk to someone about it
I keep forgetting to call
I wonder what he is doing right now?
When will be ourselves completely...
Does he think about me anymore?
I think he has forgotten me...
I think my dream means something.
Maybe I'm being told something.
And tonight is the not the last night I'll see the light

Song Stories

Letters From Home
John Michael Montgomery
The Plot: The plot of this song is to feel the emotion of a soldier and being away from his family and his fiance. The emotion builds up, his buddies laugh because of how he talks when he reads his moms letter, they get mad when he doesn't share everything in his fiance's letter.  And no one says anything when he cries when he reads his dads letter. 
The Theme: The theme of this story I think is father and son relationships.  I think it could also be just being away from home and how a simple letter can mean so much. 
The characters:  The characters in this song is the soldier getting the letters.  His buddies.  His mother who writes the first letter to him.  His fiance with the second letter.  And finally his dad, who writes him.
The Conflict:  The conflict is I think waiting for a letter from his dad.  His mom mentions his dad in the first letter, and says " your stubborn daddy hasn't said to much but I'm sure he sends his love." And that shows there that his dad wasn't happy with him being in the army. 
The setting:  There are a couple places that it mentions.  In the kitchen of the house where his parents write their letters.  And the muddey trails the solider is walking through.
