Behind-------- G-olden memories imprinted Upon a purple background. A maze of variegated figures And emotions. Images of eleven huskies, Five lithe physiques, A poised oratorical gesture, A thrill of superiority On a test of knowledge, And----that moment of ecstasy On a moonlit night. Ahead--------- Dreams of Youth To be fulfilled. A place in the world Of commercialism? The task of hardening The will Towards personalities and fire. A heart of a home? The joy of one who shares Uith another, Dreams, hardships, And a soul.
