LOVE

Love, it seems
As time goes by,
And life continues, day to day,
Comes to most of us
In dreams.
Lisa Nicholson '72

ODE TO HER

Why do you haunt me oh beautiful one?
With hair as golden as the sun,
Your eyes are as an ocean spray,
Beautiful and gay,
Your voice as a whispering breeze,
Softly singing through the trees,
I wish to ask you to be one in me,
But alas,
I can not see how you can have a love for me,
For I am unknown to thee,
Oh why can't I be the one who stands by your side,
With much audacity and pride,
My hand in yours and yours in mine,
To love and intertwine,
Until that time I will wit,
In this sorry state,
And wonder.
by Bill Landrum '71

I just want to thank you
for being my friend,
And for beautiful memories
I'll keep till the end.
Thank you for showing me
how to grow,
And for being the person
that I'm proud to know.
Thank you for letting me be me
and not have to pretend
And for showing me the
beautiful world that I'm in.
And if ever you're discouraged
and your accomplishments seem few,
Remember, this person's happy
just because you are you.
by Rhonda Price '72
