- Diane Saucier Think of a man who, when he dies, has arranged for this world to end when hiseworld has. How at his death-bed a man will wish for a universe to crumble, to die, to exist no mere. A mere wish, if it ever came true, would cause a dead man to rule all of history.

Death - O You seemed so still, so cold, Yet I felt you were still alive. Your life on earth - was so short, And for the last few years so cruel. Separated from your Loved ones, Lonely and hurt. Loneliness, the reason for destruction of a Life. I know it's too late, But, I do love you.. Dad. Melissa Hall Each day holds 'countless hours, But only slowly passing. And you appear for moments Like an echo never lasting. Please stay and hold me close. I need the touch of Heaven, I want to live and feel That Love that God has given. Christopher Morris Two years gone, wasted. I feel love now That I had before but tasted. I to you do bow. Two months gone, forever present in my memory fears I should have had never That caused my eyes to fill with tears. Two days gone, look What you have done to me. Left me guessing as in the middle of a book Now ruin my life and let me be. , Two lovers gone, parted In the nightmares I dream So that I am left once more broken-hearted Still for the sight of you I will again scream. G.D. Childs The Old Warrior's Wish If death will be, So be it. But come at me Face to face. Not like a dagger in the night, But a shape in human form So that I might raise my battle cry In one last fight. What does it matter That the wind may blow, The sea surge, The sun shine, When there is no one left To hear or see. Death is no tragedy, For those who imprison their thoughts Within themselves.

Time goes by and as it goes I wonder where the time has gone before. Last year went, the year before I still remember crawling on the floor. So many changes I've been through And days go by so fast I just don't know what to do. So Lord, l only ask that you Just take my hand and Lead me through the door. I don't know, but I've been told That adolescence is a stage That everyone goes through Some time or then, If it's so easy why did I Have such a time adjusting to The atmosphere. They say you're only young this once: You've not seen the struggle ahead. Well, If that's true, I'll hang in there, Cause this is it - lt's my turn at bat. So many changes I've been through And many more to come. Oh Lord, Just let me take your hand, Cause you'lI show me the way. David Banks
