The Happiness I Feel at Your Achievements
The happiness I feel at your achievementsReflects the happiness you feel at mine.Friends expand the pleasures of such moments,As mine in yours, and yours in mine, combine.The same when we look forward to our futures:So much more unfolds when there are two!Populating your proposed adventuresGives me a joy that mine must give to you.We've been through much, and will be through much more,But traveling together is more fun.Whatever life and love may have in store,Two is always preferable to one.Your graduation thus becomes my pleasure:Your happiness is mine, a double treasure.

Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last.
Do you run through each day On the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the reply? When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last.
Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say "Hi"? You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over.

I Love You
Roy Croft
I Love You,Not only for what you are,but for what I am when I am with you,not only for what you have made of yourself,but for what you are making of me.I love you for the part of me that you bring out.I love you for putting your hand into my overflowing heartand passing over all the foolish, weak things that can't help,dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all thebeautiful belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find.I love you because you are helping me to make of the dreams of my lifenot a thought but a reality,Out of the works of my every day not a reproach but a song...Yes, a Love song.
