Universal love
Like a rose
Rejoicing in the giving
Of its fragrance
Wanting nothing in return, 

Human spirit 
Unconquerable 
Rebounding from 
Mans severest cruelty,

The worst adversities
Provide the most
Fertile soil
For the achievement

My freshman reading list is

  O, I get it -- Good things come in fives
    USA, Russia, China, Cuba and Syria
  Nazi Germany too busy taking lives

  Looking forward to an action-packed semester
    in this new course called ~
  'Proud Traditions of our Ancestors'...
