The Lesson
Gwyneth Paltrow |
I keep on dying again.
Veins collapse, opening like the
Small fists of sleeping
Children.
Memory of old tombs,
Rotting flesh and worms do
Not convince me against
The challenge. The years
And cold defeat live deep in
Lines along my face.
They dull my eyes, yet
I keep on dying,
Because I love to live.
Veins collapse, opening like the
Small fists of sleeping
Children.
Memory of old tombs,
Rotting flesh and worms do
Not convince me against
The challenge. The years
And cold defeat live deep in
Lines along my face.
They dull my eyes, yet
I keep on dying,
Because I love to live.
Maya Angelou

"ROAR" by Katy Perry
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...
Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

Ode To Rose
She is so beautiful,
She is elegant and fragile
She is very sensitive,
Yet so powerful
Poets praise her,
Lovers need her,
She is loved by all
She is Nature's wonder
She smells so special,
She is the symbol of Love
She brings peace and happiness,
Truly She is the queen of flowers,
Yes, the lovely Rose will always bloom,
And be the reason for thousand smiles.
She is elegant and fragile
She is very sensitive,
Yet so powerful
Poets praise her,
Lovers need her,
She is loved by all
She is Nature's wonder
She smells so special,
She is the symbol of Love
She brings peace and happiness,
Truly She is the queen of flowers,
Yes, the lovely Rose will always bloom,
And be the reason for thousand smiles.

The Forgotten Town
The rain beats down on the windowpane,
Lighting streaks the sky.
The black clouds of rolling thunder,
Come from the darkened sky.
I see a branch break off from the tree,
Falling freely at last to the ground.
When I listen closely I hear,
A pitter-patter from the tin roof,
Of our ancient barn.
It smells of crisp clean air,
That's all around.
The rain diminishing quietly,
From the forgotten town.
Lighting streaks the sky.
The black clouds of rolling thunder,
Come from the darkened sky.
I see a branch break off from the tree,
Falling freely at last to the ground.
When I listen closely I hear,
A pitter-patter from the tin roof,
Of our ancient barn.
It smells of crisp clean air,
That's all around.
The rain diminishing quietly,
From the forgotten town.

I Love My Country
When an American says that he loves his country,
he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea.
He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect.
~Adlai Stevenson
