Graduation

As we reach the last day of our high school years,
our minds are set on tommorrow. As we worry and wonder if the future will
bring us, more happiness or more sorrow.

As the answer remains unknown, we turn to the past,
as visions of mixed memories passes us by, for there are visions of joy and
happiness, along with times our hearts would cry.

As we remember the past, we start to remember the times
we prayed that this day was here, never thinking once that when it comes,
our minds would be filled with fear.

Though we've finally reached our high school goal of graduating,
and made plains for better days, we start to wonder from the paths we've
chosen, are we really going the right way.

But inside our heads there's a little voice that tells us,
the answer we may never know, intill we give our lifetime goals a try,
then the answer will clearly show.

So we come back to the present, as we walk across the stage,
with smiles of joy and pride, through up our hats and shout out the class
year, with no more fear to hide.

We've finally reached one goal we tell ourselves,
why not give the others a try, because the only way one can fail in life, is by 
letting your dreams pass you by.

Tell Me Why I Love You

Please tell me why I still love you,
Though you've crushed my heart and closed the door.

Please tell me why I feel that I need you,
Though the only thing you've done, is made my heart feel sore.

Will you just please tell me why my heart holds love for you,
and for me your heart does not.

Just tell me for once why my love for you never stops.

It seems like each day it gets stronger,
though I know you don't feel the same, my list of reasons for loving you gets
longer.

I know you'll never love me, and we'll never become one.

So to take away all of the heartache and pain, please tell me why I love you. . .

AND LET MY HEART GO ON.
