(poem) The Candle


When I've lost all hope
And don't know what to do
I can count on my candle
To always get me through

In the night its flame flickers
Beckoning sweet dreams
I lay my head on my pillow
And see many pretty scenes

Its sweet vanilla scent
Goes wafting through the air
Making my toes tingle
And making the flame flair

I touch it's smooth surface
As wax slides slowly down the side
I feel its pleasant warmth
I let the candle be my guide

As the morning comes
I blow the candle out
And wait in anticipation for the night
To bring the candle flame about

(content/blog writing sample) East Tawas, Michigan

I had the pleasure of taking an excursion to the city of East Tawas, located in the northeastern region in the lower peninsula of Michigan. The city has a bustling downtown area that has multiple local businesses that help contribute to the tourist economy that the city thrives off of. I found joy in visiting a local chocolatier that had many unique takes on traditional chocolate treats. I visited some of the other local shops that sold products made by artisans throughout Michigan. There was everything from the traditional "Lake Life" t-shirts to specialty cherry wines made in Michigan. I was also captivated by a beautiful mural that was painted on the bricks of one of the stores: a fun scene that takes place in the serenity of Lake Huron, a carefree woman parasails through the waves while other colorful parasails float on in the background. The city has also been clearly upkept, with gorgeous hibiscus flowers on each street corner. Also not to be forgotten is the multiple p...

(freelance sample) Keto Diet Summary

One of the most popular diet options is the “Keto Diet”. What does “keto” really mean though? Keto is short for ketogenic, and to put it simply, keto is a high-fat and low-carb diet that makes the body burn fat instead of carbs. The diet makes the body skip the function of turning carbs into glucose (sugar) and instead makes the liver turn fat into fatty acid and ketone bodies that replace sugar as a source of energy in a process called ketosis. The is mainly used to help people diagnosed with epilepsy by reducing the frequency of their seizures. The diet isn’t for everyone though- some reported adverse effects, such as constipation, stunted growth, high cholesterol, and even kidney stones.   So, what can you eat on a keto diet? A large part of the diet is eating lots of eggs, red meat, and poultry to ensure that the body is still maintaining an adequate amount of protein. Other foods the diet consists of are green vegetables (due to the lack of carbs), fatty fish (like sal...

(poem) Life Path

A life for a life  They change mine  And I'll change theirs  They'll make me some kind of hero  Their strength will make me stronger  My plan is bigger than social work  The real plan is change  Change for the child with the bruised face  Change for the child with real monsters at night  Change for the child with the gaunt face  Change for the children that need an escape  I dream of the day I won't have to save the poor children in need I dream of children in safe homes  With food, shelter, a chance and love  The "social worker" label I'll wear with pride I'll fight my way through school  So I can meet the children, have them change my life  So I can change theirs too *2014- Bailey C.
