A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears; And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine. And he knew that it was mine, And into my garden stole When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning glad I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Lyrics to Gotta Go My Own Way :

Gabriella I gotta say what's on my mind Something about us doesn't seem right these days life keeps getting in the way Whenever we try somehow the plan is always rearranged It's so hard to say But I've gotta do what's best for me You'll be ok... I've got to move on and be who I am I just don't belong here I hope you understand We might find our place in this world someday But at least for now I gotta go my own way Don't wanna leave it all behind But I get my hopes up and I watch them fall everytime Another colour turns to grey and it's just too hard to watch it all slowly fade away I'm leaving today 'cause I've gotta do what's best for me you'll be ok... I've got to move on and be who I am I just don't belong here I hope you understand We might find our place in this world someday But at least for now I gotta go my own way Troy What about us? What about everything we've been through? Gabriella What about trust? Troy you know I never wanted to hurt you

Gabriella and what about me? Troy What am I supposed to do? Gabriella I gotta leave but I'll miss you Troy I'll miss you Gabriella so I've got to move on and be who I am Troy Why do you have to go? Gabriella I just don't belong here I hope you understand Troy: I'm trying to understand Gabriella We might find our place in this world someday but at least for now Troy I want you to stay Gabriella I wanna go my own way I've got to move on and be who I am Troy What about us? Gabriella I just don't belong here I hope you understand Troy I'm trying to understand

A Glass of Cold Water

"Mama, Im home! Its very quiet. "Mama, Im home!" Nobody answers. Where is she? I look for her in the sala, but shes not there. Where is she? A-huh! In the kitchen! I saw my mama, lying down on the floor, dead. With a glass on her hand. I remember, she tried to get it. Oh, God, just for the glass of cold water! Mama! Mama! Oh, Mama!

Everybody calls me young, beautiful, wonderful. Am I? Look at my hair, my lips, my red rosy cheeks and a pair of blinkering eyes. I remember, somebody says that I look like my mother that I look like my mother. But that when she was young. Now, I am much lovelier than she is. Im a mortal Venus. Oops! What time is it? I must get ready for the party! Beep-beep!A-huh! Here they are! Yes, Im coming! "Child, are you still there?" "Hmp! Thats my mama" "Child, are you still there? Will you please get me a glass of cold water?" "Mama, Im in a hurry!" "Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water." "Mama, please, try to get it on your own." "Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water!" At the party, I danced and danced the whole night. You see, I cant leave the party at once. I have to danced with everybody who proposed to me. At last, the party is over. Im very tired. Very, very tired. So, I went home to tell mama what happened.

Sample Graduation Speech Has it ever occurred to you that Graduation day is a bit like looking into a kaleidoscope? Its full of pictures jumbled together all of which together make up your life. There are the images of your growing years with your family and friends. Then there are the pictures of your student activities, the classmates you met and, finally, the wonderful excitement of today your graduation day. The pictures of your future are very vague because, of course, none of us knows what the future holds. Today we have the good feel factor that comes from knowing that we have done our best. We have achieved and qualified. We didnt do it alone of course. All along the way we had the wonderful support of our families and the encouragement and help of our tutors. Its likely that some of us took this for granted as only our due. Today, though, as mature and newly qualified adults, we recognise that without that back-up we could not have succeeded. So today I know my fellow students would like to join me in saying how much we appreciate all those who have helped make this day possible. Included in that are our fellow students. They pored over the textbooks with us, drank innumerable cups of coffee with us and exchanged views with us. That is probably what has given us the most important education of all. After all when we enter the working world we will be working with all sorts of people from varying backgrounds and our experience here will tell us this is a good thing, that the world is full of wonderful people with different ideas and talents. From now on we will be taking our talents and beliefs with us wherever we go .If we have learned anything it is that we have to be adaptable. ready to take chances and go different routes. The day of a job for life is almost gone. These days we have to be ready to update our knowledge, add to our skills and be ready to cope with change.

Thats the challenge before us and it is one that we will all meet in our different ways. Some of us will want to stay at home, others to travel the four corners of the earth. Some will like to work alone while others will want to work in a partnership. Whatever we do our wherever we go we wont forget today. Hopefully in years to come we will meet up with our friends again at a college re-union. That is, of course something we have to organise so I am sure you will understand that we will have to go out on the town tonight to make our plans. Finally, I would like to wish my fellow graduates, fellow graduates now that has a nice ring to it doesnt it? I would like to wish them health and happiness in the future and the satisfaction of knowing that whatever they do they will do it well. After all they are graduates of (Name of college) and that is just another name for the college of excellence. Today we are throwing our caps in the air Getting ready to go different ways To tackle the world head on my friends And to start on the very first phase Of adult life with all it implies No more running home to mum But making her proud of the lives we lead And showing our dads were not dumb. So today as we sit in this great big hall Wed like to give our thanks to you all For being there when we needed you Now its our turn to show what we do I dont know how or why or when But goodbye my friends until we meet again
