SEARCHING FOR MY FRIEND I see us walking along the beach, Leaving footprints in the sand. The water swirling out of reach, You reaching for my hand. MY FUTURE Like a waterfall that runs over and knows not of its destiny. Like a bud not yet in bloom, Like the sun which knows not it shall shine at noon, I know not where I stand. I know that I have an idea Of my house, my love, and career. When that day comes for me to walk upon the stage, I will not turn back. I must put books, reports, and underclassmen behind. I will be free to run over and bloom. Hand in hand we continue on, Not knowing what to say. The sun is now almost gone, Ending a beautiful day. Of all the men that have gone, You're the only one that I miss. It is the break ofa new dawn, As I silently reminisce. I see us walking along the beach, . . . But whatever shall come my way, Leaving footprints in the sand. l , , I know always that God will bless me The water swirling out of reach, from do to d You reaching for my hand . . . Y oy' tzllwfafl YEARS GGNE BY Our time has come, our venture into the future, even as we look to the past. Dances, football games, pep rallies, homework - all behind us now and we think, Our high school years are really finished! Glimpses of our future are already mixing with memories of the past four years. Remember the teachers Cbless themb and friends Cah, friendsJ! We hope never to be without them though miles and years separate us. These last years should never fade from our memories, but should be cherished in our thoughts as the most carefree and happiest of our lives. As we proudly walk the final steps that signify the end of these years and the beginning of so many more, let us all say a silent thanks to all who helped us make if to this precious moment in time. C 4, THE RACE While I stood shaking upon the block Awaiting the timers resetting their clocks, PROMISES If you promised to do Something yesterday You find that yesterday Is gone forever. I started to think of what was to come. The cold wafer and pain would be no fun. I will dive in the water and really fly. But no sooner do I start, l'Il feel like If you promised to do I Comd die Something tomorrow, You'Il find that tomorrow Never comes. Every pull of my arms and kick of my feet Sends a pain through my body that , 'tb b t! Butifyou promise todo can e eo Something today it'lI always Get done, because today is here forever. But in the end I will feel so good Because I know I did the best I could. 3 C?f80WfxaPJf1, Excalibur

L HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAMS Hold onto your dreams, Don't ever give in. lf you keep trying, You're going to win. Hold onto your dreams Though sometimes it's hard. Just hold up your head, And reach for the stars. Hold onto your dreams, Though they seem faraway And those dreams Will come true. . . Somehow . . . Someway . . . A TIME TO LOVE lt's painful Lord, to realize that others may not see Your loving spirit so alive, now guiding, helping me. Your word is reassuring, and it always points the way For me to understand then to follow and to pray. .lust now Your love is melting fast, and anguish andthe pain, As l reach out to share your words in tenderness again. Dear Lord, You only can restore and heal a broken heart. Amidst confusion, doubt and fear, Your love's a thing apart. You promise us the gift of peace, your fellowship divine: You let us see the victory, the joy that now is mine. Please let Your contenance of love now penetrate and shed lts glow on those in darkness, of whom l have no dread. And may they, too, in gladness, share your treasuretrove of love, That men might know eternity - our gift from You above. Qlmgjl-c, 83636.45 Vg! ELIZABETH ABERSOLD
