| God has a Master plan for everybody that's why people die, But even though it hurts, and you feel it's unfair, we all have to die sometime, then you will see, the one true reason why death is a big part of LIFE. by: Yesenia Serrano |
| The Song of Memory Street of youth majestic line beneath trees of dancing leaves the sun a splintered distant thing dangles above a faulty horizon dancing through the branches and down across my shadow walk Jackson Street was where I learned to cry when it finally meant something Frost thick on spindly grass and the breaths of a passerby floating like fractured angels toward the sky Two blocks down to the donut shop four up to brick and cement of the schoolyard just across the way a church of books and then the courthouse lawn the place where children gathered on shatter-blue afternoons to test the boundaries of being boys My father said to be home early but he's not home anymore and neither am I just out here in this dazzle of distance far away from where it started A child in a man's frightening arc of reason just clutching to those leaves that flutter down from the trees of my youth by: tWISTEd sPINe |

| Enjoy The Ride Inspiring moment this is not I sit awaiting my mind to rot Still wondering why he is gone No benefit to those who won't dare To question what happened Troubled by many They stand alone Or slide and weave into that zone That state of mind where all is right Their sympathy is out of sight The clock ticks down To the final date Sitting in anticipation of that holy date Where earth emotion and peace collide Unfortunately we won't be around To enjoy the ride by: Maya |

| "REMEMBER" Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day. You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me a while And afterwards remember, do not greive: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts I once had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. "DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEAP" Do not stand at my grave and weap; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. by: Ellie |

| Dedications Staring in to the blankly lite sky I sit here and think why? Wonder what would have happened If you had not gone If you were still here with us Would you be a hero Would you be a teacher Would you be an actor still? An father or a preacher? An yet as I look up there,into those stars I think of the time you were with us Sharing in your joy,gloryness and tears Sharing in your hopes,your dreams your fears And yet I come to think looking up at those stars If this was meant to be I don't know but I do know that you are now free. Free to roam the earthly skys Free to watch over those who have died Free to be an angel above Free to fly and watch over those you have loved and lost For now you are an angel above The moon and the sky thanks you for being there The sun shines over your earthly hair Your beautiful eyes,your wonderless smile Makes heaven feel all the while You are now in peace In the heavens abroad you can now rest in heaven,so gracefully So silently as if you were never there Your wings are so soft you have earned them so Your time here was limited as everyone knows But now that you can fly,and can,and will You can join all the heavenly bodies who watch over us still Mythical magical wonderless you Flying around watching us Hoping one day you will see us all again And you will someday Like the flowers to the earth Like the sun to the sky One day we will see each other again As time fly's by As the trees grow stronger and the wind blows longer We hear your voice and think about you Blowing beneath the midnight sky The darkest clouds the dreariest days And we think,We'll see you someday Peace be finally with you. Rest well by: Bridgett Meszaros |
