To: my child
To my future child:
May your walk be straight and forward
May your mind be pure and true
May your time be sweet and joyous
As I walk along with you
May the sweetest dedication
Bring your dreams of life in bed
As you rest in the Almighty's shadow
And His wings protect your head
May your dreams be yours to follow
May your talents prove you wise
May your learning always prosper
May the light betroth your eyes
May your life reflect your beauty
May your balance ever be
A reflection of the glory ...
May your walk be straight and forward
May your mind be pure and true
May your time be sweet and joyous
As I walk along with you
May the sweetest dedication
Bring your dreams of life in bed
As you rest in the Almighty's shadow
And His wings protect your head
May your dreams be yours to follow
May your talents prove you wise
May your learning always prosper
May the light betroth your eyes
May your life reflect your beauty
May your balance ever be
A reflection of the glory ...

Altu Vorba Romana
Toate rξurile se varsă ξn mare, şi marea tot nu se umple"
De ce nu ascultati?
De ce nu intelegeti?
De ce vati dus departe de mine?
Ascultati-va, dragi mei
Plimbati-va dela rautatea voastra,
De la rau si ce-i de la moarte
Asa o sa vine peste tine:
O vaca mai mare, un om mai tare,
Sus in picoare va ridica,
Furnica care adune la vara, are pentru iarna
Asculta la mine:
Cine izbaveste cel ce-i rau
Va fi strans ca struguri
Vezi! Ti-am spus din nou
Acum nu aveti scuza.
De ce nu ascultati?
De ce nu intelegeti?
De ce vati dus departe de mine?
Ascultati-va, dragi mei
Plimbati-va dela rautatea voastra,
De la rau si ce-i de la moarte
Asa o sa vine peste tine:
O vaca mai mare, un om mai tare,
Sus in picoare va ridica,
Furnica care adune la vara, are pentru iarna
Asculta la mine:
Cine izbaveste cel ce-i rau
Va fi strans ca struguri
Vezi! Ti-am spus din nou
Acum nu aveti scuza.

A Palindrome
What are we but dust and ashes
Lightning; as the thunder crashes
A moment here, behold she flashes!
Is life and love just subtle lashes?
Take hold! And I will ask of thee
Is this what love is meant to be?
Can saviors sway this ocean rage?
A drop of ink upon the page
----------------

A Romanian Word
Daca am reusit ceva in viata
Ca soarele care creste pe apa
Sa sti, draga, ca ti-am iubit
Mai mult de cat o fost venit
Cati zorile vine si seara trece
Si inima iubitilor se raceste
Iar focul tau ma incalzeste
Ci fara tine, cine este?
Cantati! Chemati-va toti impreuna
Vino! Adunati-va la mine, voi fara pastor;
Fiindca ti-am chemat de nume
Cu numele care ti-am dat in urma
Pazeste-te! Vezi lacul meu de fier;
Vezi razboiul; pleci de aici!
Uitati-va la voi, la strainatatea ta;
Fara granita, fara mila; ...
Ca soarele care creste pe apa
Sa sti, draga, ca ti-am iubit
Mai mult de cat o fost venit
Cati zorile vine si seara trece
Si inima iubitilor se raceste
Iar focul tau ma incalzeste
Ci fara tine, cine este?
Cantati! Chemati-va toti impreuna
Vino! Adunati-va la mine, voi fara pastor;
Fiindca ti-am chemat de nume
Cu numele care ti-am dat in urma
Pazeste-te! Vezi lacul meu de fier;
Vezi razboiul; pleci de aici!
Uitati-va la voi, la strainatatea ta;
Fara granita, fara mila; ...

Overcoming
I am not, though here I am
I am not, though here I am
I am not a mystery, nor hysterical history;
I'm a fundamentally mental ministry
Overcoming the world
I am the seas to your treasure chest
I am the wall of the fortress best
I am the wicked to the wicked man
I am the flicker of a perfect plan; I am
Overcoming the world
I am
The maker of peace, redeemer of war
The light that's inside
The knock at your door
.
I am
The king of your heart
The guardian flame
I show you my part
And...
I am not, though here I am
I am not a mystery, nor hysterical history;
I'm a fundamentally mental ministry
Overcoming the world
I am the seas to your treasure chest
I am the wall of the fortress best
I am the wicked to the wicked man
I am the flicker of a perfect plan; I am
Overcoming the world
I am
The maker of peace, redeemer of war
The light that's inside
The knock at your door
.
I am
The king of your heart
The guardian flame
I show you my part

An Oracle
For they have not rejected thee but they have rejected Me"
-------------------------------------------------
O nation, hear! and witness Earth,
A worth far more than gold of old:
A merchant sold his finest wares
To those afar, across the sea
Where none are blind and all can see
The delicacy of thy tares;
See! O country bathed in arms
Alarms from all thy corners, bare:
A sword is promised from afar
A truth, a truth and not a dare!
See! The powerless wield their weapons,
The powerful shriek in pain;

13 heroes died for thee
A tearful eye cannot explain
What sacrifice you gave for me
Nor can a country entertain
Why 13 heroes died for thee
A broken People may endure
And proudly boast that they are free
But this, I cannot be so sure,
Why 13 heroes died for thee
Men of arms! O, men attuned
A somber song and solemn plea;
That I was not the one who died
For 13 heroes died for me
My tears are blood, who weeps for me?
This torrent flood; who keeps me free?
Who knows the way that we must go

Maranatha, Maranatha!
At cloudless noon, or midnight bare
I long to see you by-and-by
To walk the crystal seas we share
And soar like angels in the sky
A sea of glass, a land so bright
And armies there are trained to fight
A throne of glory, heaven's own
Where ends of ends are there and shown
Our worthless toils--for pay and bread
A life of strife to lay one's head!
Was man created for this life
Where some is pain and all is strife?
Where moments that we save for years
Are gone in graves and many tears?
Is this our call, our...

Nicole
I love her because she is the brightness of the day
I love her because she is the strength of the coffee
I love her because she is the warmth of the shower
I love her because she is the song of the city
I love her because she is the sound of love
I love her because she is the kindness of others
I love her because she is the peace of the ocean waves
I love her because she is the cooling breeze
I love her--she is more precious than rubies
I love her--she is worth more than many diamonds
I love her--she knows me and calls my name
I love...

To Those Who Fought for Us
Far out in the desert He heard it's cry
'Twas sick and helpless and ready to die
'Twas sick and helpless and ready to die
Hold back my fingers, let loose the waves
O, guard the mind from what it craves
Soldier! Straight your bended knee
And do what others ask of me:
Destroy the foe, unleash your fire
Protect the freedoms we desire
Go off to war, though not your own
And seize the victory alone
Go battle men, the brazen kind
And leave your fears and tears behind
Go calm the seas!...
'Twas sick and helpless and ready to die
'Twas sick and helpless and ready to die
Hold back my fingers, let loose the waves
O, guard the mind from what it craves
Soldier! Straight your bended knee
And do what others ask of me:
Destroy the foe, unleash your fire
Protect the freedoms we desire
Go off to war, though not your own
And seize the victory alone
Go battle men, the brazen kind
And leave your fears and tears behind
Go calm the seas!...

Brief
Who lends their mind?
Who calls a thought?
Can mysteries find
Or time be bought?
Who gives without lending?
Who charges no fare?
Who sits on the throne
And needeth no heir?
Who gave us the mountains
And lovers the sea?
Who counsels the righteous
As wicked men flee
The first, and the only
The Orginal Origin
Who calls a thought?
Can mysteries find
Or time be bought?
Who gives without lending?
Who charges no fare?
Who sits on the throne
And needeth no heir?
Who gave us the mountains
And lovers the sea?
Who counsels the righteous
As wicked men flee
The first, and the only

of Arlington, and other commentary
Be quiet!" Said Jesus sternly.
Arlington is not a place
Where pride or prejudice disgrace
The veil that lands on those who see
Those hallowed tombs of memory
Arlington is like a dream
A thought that no one dare forgot
A ream of tears too often seen
Is Arlington--that dreary spot
More than that is Arlington
And much more left to see
A star, a cross a sentry's there
To guard my memory
A silence there at Arlington!
A wind begins its course
A muffled sound beneath this ground ...
