TIME FLIES

 

Moments change to memories before our very eyes.

There's no need to look at the clock to realize time flies.

So, be careful how you spend your time -

Don't wish your life away.

Don't be idle and sit still, because......

Time flies this very day!!!

 

THE ROAD AHEAD

 

The road ahead, long and never ending

The road behind, on my mind still pending.

I long to turn my back and not to grow,

To run to the safety of what I already know.

But I shall find the call of the future near

Drowning out the voice of fear.

As I go into this new world so vast,

I shall realize that this future will also be the past.

(6th Grade Graduation - May 1988)

 

"MAGIC"

Find the "magic" within yourself

And never place your beliefs upon a shelf.

Because, to take the second seat 

Is to give in and admit defeat.

Carry your torch of pride, and carry it high.

And hypocritical ones can do no more than sigh.

And no matter how hard the winds of condemnation blow,

Refuse to let it cease the torches' glow.

You will be sure to travel your own path,

And you will surely receive some scornful wrath.

But no matter how long, rocky narrow or wide -Wisdom,

Pride and honor are never to hide.

 

BE THE BEST YOU CAN

Days turn to minutes

And

Minutes turn to memories.

Life slips away

The dreams

That we have planned.

You are young

And

You are the future

So Suck it up

And

Tough it out

And

Be the best you can!!!!

 

ONE LOVE

I never had the strength to do what I could do.

That is, until the day I first met you.

You gave me hope when I was down.

You got a smile out of my frown.

You made my world a brighter place

And the light gets brighter every time I see your smiling face.

Standing alone with nowhere to go,

You came like the sun to melt the snow.

You are my first love, and probably the last.

I will cherish the moments we keep.

Like the waters of the ocean, my love runs ever deep.

 

THIS YEAR

This year I've waited on so long

has packed up its bags and gone.

It has packed up the pain

and the fifteen minutes of fame and gone.

It has packed up the memories and folded the dreams

and put my failures inside the seams and gone.

It has filled its pockets with my tears

and thrown out the trash along with my fears and gone.

It has framed my joys and wrapped up my smiles

and made a short journey of this last mile and gone.

This year I have waited on so long

has packed up its bags and gone

with a cap and gown, smiles and frowns

and left me to pack up my life and move on.

THE CLASS OF '94

We will grow together until the end.

We will always count on our best friends.

 We will cry for our losses and cheer for our gains.

We will be there for each other through all the joy and the pain.

 We will grow and learn together until we reach that final door

When we will be called the graduated class of 1994.
