A Rose for a Rose (friendship poem)

Poem I wrote inspired by and for my best friend Destiny Rose Medina:


A rose for a rose.
Nose goes.
Let's watch as the wind blows.
We are friends.

A smile for a smile.
Let's talk a while
or run a mile.
"I'll do it if you do."
"I dare you to."
We are friends.

A laugh for a laugh for a laugh,
hanging out in the caf(eteria),
hugging all the friends we see
because we are like one big family.
I wish this would never end
so great to share it with you my friend.

A dance for a dance
we'll take a chance
of looking like fools
as long as it's not against the rules.
What fun it is to be friends with you.  : )

You've got a friend in me
and I've got a friend in you.
Thank you for being there to listen,
sharing in my pain and laughter.
You always make my life richer.

Thank you for all that you add to my life,
and thank you for being a friend.  <3

There may have been more to this poem too, but that's the gist of it because I sent it to my friend  : )

I hope that you find the richness and relief that friendship brings.  It is good to be able to share your heart and you life with someone who will not judge you for your short-comings.  Thank you so much to all the good friends and listeners out there.  You do so much more than you know and you are greatly appreciated.  Sincerely, Jasmine F.  : )

Becoming New...

Good evening y'all, It has been a long day, but it has gone by fast.  Sort of ironic.  I'm sitting at home trying to get some rest from this cold that's clinging to me like a crawfish...??  I know I've been at work too long when I start sounding out words in my head that I see--like the word, Th-i-n-k-ing.  Or I start saying the words that way to adults when they ask me a question. This 2016-17 school year I am a LITERACY TUTOR in AmeriCorps.  It sounds kind of fancy when you put it that way.  I spend my days working one-on-one with about 16 different students on various reading interventions.  We work on short reading passages or blending together small words.  This also includes a lot of paperwork, data entry, prep work, bribing and coaxing via small toys, candy, and cracker items.  It should involve a lot more praise than scolding, more high-fives than head-shaking, and you get the picture.  The work is often rewarding, but also ...

Hi everybody!

Hello everybody! I've never had a blog before.   I have Facebook though.  I don't really know what to do.  If other people can comment on here feel free to ask me about my life  : )   Oh, apparently you guys can comment so that's good.              So this is Jasmine Fairbanks and I am at the Teen Mania Ministry's Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas which a Christian leadership school/ministry internship, basically, yet it's a lot more.  It's sort of like being on a mission trip because we are working toward spreading the gospel, but we stay in one place and reach people through the phones, etc.  I call for the Minneapolis Acquire the Fire youth conference.  Our event is on Feb. 4th & 5th, which is in like 2 weeks!  I'm excited, I get to go and help!  We'll help set up the event and with registration, etc.  This weekend is also the Housto...

Today I played soccer!!!

So today was a really good day!  I went to church, played soccer, knit a little bit, read some of my Bible, worked on some stuff, etc.  Often I worry about what I have to do instead of actually taking time to enjoy life and other people, so it was really good to do that today. I need to learn to live where I'm at. I realized that w/ playing soccer and not worrying about anything for a while was the way things should be and it was really beautiful. I was kind of the goalie and I saw the others playing, carefree and running around under the big blue sky with the sun shining down on them in the warm weather. It was such evidence of a loving God.  The sunshine looked like the rays from a smiling father beaming down on his beloved children.   God is showing me that life is good, I am blessed, He is faithful, and I can trust Him.  It's always when I give me time away or follow God into doing something that I get back so much more, like the P...
