I’m wife to a wonderfully supportive husband in all things I do, a mother to 4 beautiful children and an elementary music teacher by trade. I’ve always enjoyed writing and am happy to have found this app for encouragement.

Freedom

Cassie Grajeda

1 min read

Freedom comes at the cost of blood and lives

Real men and women and their sacrifice

Every American needs to know the cost

Everyone, everywhere should be taught what is lost

Dream your dreams and live and love

Open your heart, don’t forget what we speak of

Memorialize those who lost their freedom for ours...

A Cloak of Red

Cassie Grajeda

2 min read

The girl is walking through the wood

Her face is hidden by her hood

No fear, she feels, at all

She’s always standing tall

For always she does as she should

An evil lurks, unknown to her

He creeps, he stalks, covered in fur

She skips and sings a song

Her voice, it is so strong

Not a clue to what will occur

The wolf, she meets in a clearing

She can’t believe what she’s hearing

The wolf could talk ...

The Rose

Cassie Grajeda

The rose is there, just as she said

It shines beneath the glass, bright red

With magic it floats, yet it fills me with dread

For I know its secret for the final hour

For it measures the heart of our young prince

Since the day his selfishness made her heart wince

A young maiden, lost, no shelter to b...

I’m Upside Down

It’s the middle of summer, not winter nor fall

I’m wearing a sweatsuit - pants and all

Its so hot outside, I’m drowning in sweat

This is surely a moment I’ll never forget

I’m upside down and backwards

I’m inside out and crosswards

Sometimes I smile, sometimes I frown

I’m twisted up, I’m upside down

It’s the middle of autumn, leaves fall to the ground

Gently floating, not making a sound

I arrive ...

Wandering

Cassie Grajeda

1 min read

I wander alone, not a soul by my side

The air is still and cold

The sun peaks through the trees in rays

While the thoughts inside my mind unfold

I know not where I’m going

I dare not think of where I’ve been

My sins run through my mind in waves

And I struggle - a major war within

This dark pit looms in front of me

I look down, nervous - I take a step back

“Please help me…” a voice inside my mind...
