A ROLE
We are placed on an open stage, No curtains distort our view. Free to display the page, Vistas our own; our crew. Unshackled by time, nor prey, Constrained by naught, but our script. We strut our tale, and have our say; Our entrance; our exit. The audience cheers; nor nods one wit, Nor ember glares...

SOLEMN REMINDER
When you awake in springtime And the sun so brightly shines When the trees flaunt their blossoms And the leaves their rustle chimes It’s a solemn reminder, God’s up too. When you stroll along in summer And the raindrops quench the soil When the thunder claps its lightening And the streams their...

Giving Thanks
Pretend to be great, That may well be true. It is the coveted fate Few men will e’er eschew. You are whom you are, None can ever be you. Stay near; stray far, You will retrieve a just due. Suffice it to be understood, Believe it yes or no. One will be considered good Astride the dare he shows....

THE IMMIGRANT'S JOURNEY
I am here, do I really belong? I have come to pursue a simple mission. Gain fame, wealth, and some recognition; Fulfill the realization of my childhood vision. I do not know the language, the culture, the norms; I must compete with those who’ve been here as of yore; I must make my way whether in...

MY FRIEND
To my friend I must say no He wishes that I with him will go. I have a duty to him to be true I cannot condone what he wants to do. ‘Cause he is my friend, more to him I owe, To assist him on the straight way to go. If I say yes when I should say no, I am a traitor, not a friend; worse than a foe....

A MILITARY SOLILOQUY
I see your echo, though you are far away; I hear your lips, as to me they say; Come home here with me to stay, There’ll be no greater moment, night or day. I cast your footsteps, as you walk to pray; I feel your pleas, as on the pew they lay; Keep him well and protected all the way; Bring him home...

SURPRISED
Daily he passed by and stared, I never dreamt he cared. One day he kissed me on the cheek; I despised him for the better of a week. He called to say ‘I love you, I have been afraid to say. I hope you have seen through The emotion I did there display.’ I paused at that blithe moment, Then I began to...

TWO SOON
I recall what my mother said Before so young she went away from me. Be true, be honest, act virtuously. She has always been with me – as I grew. I recall what my sister said Before so young she went away from me. Have faith, be kind, share selflessly. She has always been with me – as I grew....

CONQUER
Ask, the answer will be no Sow, the plants they will not grow Swim, just go under and drown Laugh, and be considered a clown. Fly, the ‘craft will tumble from the sky Vie, no one will look me in the eye Try, that venture’s sure to fail Love, an invite to pain and travail. Read, that’s only for the...

LEGACY
Come take my hand Let us walk alone Place our prints upon the sand Our images on the stones. We are here for a brief while We mark or fade away unknown Our work is measured mile by mile Shall we bequeath obscurity or renown? We may falter on the way We may stumble and endure pain As long as we get...
