Graduation Day
sweat and mothballs
grass so green
...

Ten million soldiers to the war have gone,
Who may never return again.
Ten million mothers' hearts must break,
For the ones who died in vain.
...

We have never spoken
but yet we know so much about each other
We have never seen one another
but yet we can draw every fine detail in each face
...

Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.
Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky
And the affrighted steed ran on alone,
Do not weep.
...

Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't want to go
He thought he'd found his home
...

We leave our home in the morning,
We kiss our children goodbye,
While we slave for the bosses,
Our children scream and cry.
...

I have walk
The line which you stand on
But do you realize it
I have dreamed
...

If you are my friend why have you not spoken the words?
If you are my friend why have you turned and walked away?
If you are my friend why have you taken the other side?
If you are my friend why have you insulted me?
...

I remember the day at the beach
I remember the hot sand burning my feet
I remember how cold the ocean felt
and how my skin seemed to sizzle in the heat
...

In a bud,
there is a flower;

In the seed,
...

He took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
...

I asked for strength, that i might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things
...

If my lips could simg as many songs,
as there are waves in the sea:

if my tongue could sings as many hymns
...

How often do I not,
as if I were listening,
to words I cannot hear,
because I'm thinking about something else,
...

Accepts you as you are
Believes in you
Calls you just to say “hi”
Doesn’t give up on you
...

There's a flower,
In the smallest garden,
Reaching for the light,
There's candle,
...

“Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
...

What fun we have
The time we share
The memories we make
Laughs we create
...

Love is patient
Love is kind
It does not envy
It does not boast
...

You never seemed to care
About what I had to say
You never asked what I thought or even how I felt
...
