Outside a gate

A parental dream that began when a child is born,
And their hope come true it would seem,
A triumph held after periods of forlorn,

Grab your coat and in the rain
Come take a walk with me

the students sneak back onto

You went along with the unruly group just to be a part of the crowd
Then started walking toward the school and began to yell out loud
It was time to go to the classroom but you lingered out in the hall
The bell rang loud for the second time so you responded to its call

A hard fought battle you have won
This graduation day;
We fill with pride to know you still
Stand steadfast on the way.

sweat and mothballs
grass so green

Today was a day for remembering, Dad, of things we did and said
Going back many years -- of stories told when you tucked me in bed
Pretending we were on a ship -- floating off to many lands
Finding secret treasures -- always holding hands.

Watching the clock slowly tick
Tic toc Tic toc
The days go by slowly

a poem from you, a PH member, which you’d like read most.

So Time I thread through
the needle eye
and stretch it like taffy
across my life,
...

In the world now a graduate stands,
With dreams that soar in distant lands.
Yet burdened by a weighty plight,
No wealth, no job in sight.

No need to be confined in a net of knitted straws
no need to be afraid of lightning and thunders of the clouds
no need to hide behind the feathers of a mother bird
now you don't need the shoulders of a father bird.

As you drive away
I wave goodbye,
And remember the times
We laughed and cried.

Having those tremendous nightmares
when theres chills throught the
cold blooded body.

mother's loud scream along with your soft cry
Your mother brought you into this world as an angel.

around Lake Como on a late autumn day.
I opened the kleenix package, and

My son, at your birth
You are like a jewel
Instills an innate mirth
An aura ringing a bell

Graduation is coming faster then you know
soon it will be may and we will all be alone
soon we will be crying and we will finally be free
adults you see

with something great

Dawn's a single mother, with struggles, now her own
It's been five long years of widow' s work
To mend her broken home
A chore, to stretch her monthly budget,

The hard work and sleepless nights,
are only the memories of the bygone days.

That I have left behind
Wanting to be whole
Would be the easiest way

We shall climb higher and look further
We're leaving our salad days behind
and start chasing our dreams ahead

Never had much time for play,
Used to wonder why he'd rather
