　　--Tanusrii Gopal Krishnan

　　To My Dad on His Day

　　To my dad on his day,

　　Of whom I am a living will:

　　May your happiness fulfill

　　Your goodness,as is just and right.

　　Deeds are seeds upon the night

　　As wind and wonder have their way,

　　Delivering the destined light.

　　Daddy,I Love You

　　Daddy,I love you

　　For all that you do.

　　Ill kiss you and hug you

　　Cause you love me,too.

　　You feed me and need me

　　To teach you to play,

　　So smile cause I love you

　　On this Fathers Day.

　　Always there for me

　　I know you will always hear my rumbling and bear my blaring

　　I know you will always stand by me even if the world is against

　　I know you will always adore me and elevate me

　　I know you will think about me every moment

　　I know you will be infelicitous without your princess

　　I know you will always be there for me

　　You know I love you

　　My Daddy

　　My Daddy is a mountain

　　My Daddy is a sea

　　My Daddy smiles again and again

　　I love my Daddy

　　And I know he loves me

　　cause my Daddy is a ray of lite

　　that warms a winterseve

　　My daddy is very special to me

　　I could not live without my daddy

　　as he could not live without me.

　　Fathers Can Be Solitary Mountains

　　Fathers can be solitary mountains,

　　All their love rock-like,steep,and strong.

　　Though warm and caring,somehow they belong

　　Halfway home to mothersbubbling fountains.

　　Each of us needs love that knows no quarter,

　　Reminding us of bonds that cross a border,

　　Strengthening our sense of right and wrong.

　　Fathers Need Not Fathers Be

　　Fathers need not fathers be.

　　All one needs to do is choose

　　To love for life,and that embrace,

　　Held long and hard,bestows the grace

　　Each craves.For all in time must lose,

　　Restored alone by memory.

　　So now it is with you and me.

　　Be Kind To Thy Father

　　Be kind to thy father,

　　for when thou wert young,

　　Who loved thee so fondly as he?

　　He caught the first accents that

　　fell from thy tongue,

　　And joined in thy innocent glee.

　　Love never back

　　Let us use it while we may

　　Snatch those joys that haste away!

　　Earth her winter coat may cast,

　　And renew her beeauty past:

　　But,our winter come,in vain

　　We solicit spring again;

　　And when our furrows snow shall cover,

　　Love may return but never lover

　　Without you by my side

　　Without you?

　　Id be a soul without a purpose.

　　Without you?

　　Id be an emotion without a heart.

　　Im a face without expression,

　　A heart with no beat.

　　Without you by my side,

　　Im just a flame without the heat.

　　Never give up

　　Never give up,

　　Never lose hope.

　　Always have faith,

　　It allows you to cope.

　　Trying times will pass,

　　As they always do.

　　Just have patience,

　　Your dreams will come true.

　　So put on a smile,

　　Youll live through your pain.

　　Know it will pass,

　　And strength you will gain.

　　THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE

　　Failure doesnt mean you are a failure,

　　It does mean you havent succeeded yet.

　　Failure doesnt mean you have accomplished nothing,

　　It does mean you have learned something.

　　Failure doesnt mean you have been a fool,

　　It does mean you had a lot of faith.

　　Failure doesnt mean youve been disgraced,

　　It does mean you were willing to try.

　　Failure doesnt mean you dont have it,

　　It does mean you have to do something in a different way.

　　Failure doesnt mean you are inferior,

　　It does mean you are not perfect.

　　Failure doesnt mean youve wasted your life，

　　It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.

　　Failure doesnt mean you should give up，

　　It does mean you must try harder.

　　Failure doesnt mean youll never make it,

　　It does mean it will take a little longer.

　　Failure doesnt mean God has abandoned you,

　　It does mean God has a better idea.

　　Ask a student who has failed a final exam.

　　To realize the value of one month:

　　Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

　　To realize the value of one week:

　　Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

　　Time waits for no one.

　　Treasure every moment you have.

　　Spring

　　Spring,the sweet spring,is the years pleasant king;

　　Then blooms each thing,then maids dance in a ring,

　　Cold doth not sting,the pretty birds do sing,

　　Cuckoo,jug-jug,pu-we,to-witta-woo!

　　The palm and may make country houses gay,

　　Lambs frisk and play,the shepherds pipe all day,

　　And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,

　　Cuckoo,jug-jug,pu-we,to-witta-woo!

　　The fields breathe sweet,the daisies kiss our feet,

　　Young lovers meet,old wives a sunning sit,

　　In every street these tunes our ears do greet,

　　Cuckoo,jug-jug,pu-we,to-witta-woo!

　　Spring! the sweet Spring!

　　Here

　　Have a first-class teachers teachers

　　There are full of youthful spirit of the students

　　Here

　　Are our most precious memories

　　We have the most memorable junior high school career

　　We have the most intimate friends

　　Here

　　We have military training that unforgettable pains

　　We have 3 this hard last struggle in this beautiful campus

　　Righteous a bitter and music

　　But more is sweat washed style

　　I will always love you-- the poem to his alma mater

　　Love Like Morning Sun

　　So often,when Im alone with my thoughts,

　　I feel your presence enter me

　　like the morning suns early light,

　　filling my memories and dreams of us

　　with a warm and clear radiance.

　　You have become my love,my life,

　　and together we have shaped our world

　　until it seems now as natural as breathing.

　　But I remember when it wasnt always sotimes

　　when peace and happiness seemed more

　　like intruders in my life than

　　the familiar companions they are today;

　　times when we struggled to know each other,

　　but always smoothing out those rough spots

　　until we came to share ourselves completely.

　　We can never rid our lives entirely

　　of sadness and difficult times

　　but we

　　can understand them together,and grow

　　stronger as individuals and as a loving couple.

　　If I dont tell you as often as Id like,

　　its because I could never tell you enough

　　that Im grateful for you

　　sharing your life with mine,

　　and that my love for you will live forever.

　　by Edmund ONeil

　　Trees

　　I think that I shall J.Kilmernever see

　　A poem lovely as a tree.

　　A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

　　against the earths sweet flowing breast;

　　A tree that looks at God all day,

　　And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

　　A tree that may in summer wear

　　A nest of robins1 in her hair;

　　Upon whose bosom2 snow has lain;

　　Who intimately lives with the rain.

　　Poems are made by fools like me,

　　But only God can make a tree.

　　The Spirit Wooed

　　Once I believed in you,

　　And then you came,

　　Unquestionably new,as fame

　　Had said you were.But that was long ago.

　　You launched no argument,

　　Yet I obeyed,

　　Straightaway,the instrument you played

　　Distant Down sidestreets,keeping different time,

　　And never questioned what

　　You fascinate

　　In me; if good or not,the state

　　You pressed towards.There was no need to know.

　　Grave pristine absolutes

　　Walked in my mind:

　　So that I was not mute,or blind,

　　As years before or since.My only crime

　　Was holding you too dear.

　　Was that the cause

　　You daily came less near—a pause

　　Longer than life,if you decide it so?

　　Windflowers

　　Windflowers,windflowers

　　my father told me not to go

　　near them

　　He said he feared them always

　　and he told me that they

　　carried him away

　　Windflowers,beartiful

　　windflowers

　　I couldnt wait to touch them

　　to smell them I held them

　　closely

　　And now I cannot break away

　　Their sweet bouquet disappears

　　like the vapor in the desert

　　So take a warning ,son

　　Windflowers ,ancient

　　windflowers

　　their beauty capture every

　　young dreamer

　　who lingers near them

　　But ancient windflowers,

　　I love you

　　If

　　If you can keep your head when all about you

　　Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

　　If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

　　But make allowance for their doubting too;

　　If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

　　Or,being lied about,dont deal in lies,

　　Or,being hated,dont give way to hating,

　　And yet dont look too good,nor talk too wise;

　　If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;

　　If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

　　If you can meet with triumph and disaster

　　And treat those two impostors just the same;

　　If you can bear to hear the truth youve spoken

　　Twiseted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

　　Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

　　And stoop and build em up with wornout tools;

　　If you can make one heap of all your winnings

　　And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

　　And lose,and start again at your beginnings

　　And never breathe a word about your loss;

　　If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

　　To serve your turn long after they are gone,

　　And so hold on when there is nothin in you

　　Except the Will which says to them:"Hold on!"

　　If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

　　Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch;

　　If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

　　If all men count with you,but none too much;

　　If you can fill the unforgiving minute

　　With sixty second worth of distance run-

　　Yours is the Earth and everything thats in it,

　　And-which is more-youll be a Man my son!

　　The Pride of Youth

　　Proud Maisie is in the wood,

　　Walking so early;

　　Sweet Robin sits on the bush,

　　Singing so rarely.

　　“tell me ,thou bonny bird,

　　when shall I marry me?”

　　-“when six braw gentlemen

　　kirkward shall carry ye.”

　　“who makes the bridal bed,

　　birdie,say truly?”

　　-“The gray-headed sexton

　　That delves the grave duly.

　　“The glowworm o’er grave and stone

　　Shall light thee steady;

　　The owl from the steeple sing,

　　Welcome,proud lady.”
