In mutual embrace
Twin loves aligned
Step to the left

In lands few shall ever know
They give their all
Today as those
Who have marched before
To defend an oath
A solemn sacred promise
Written in eloquence
At the birth . . .

After rapping twice and one time more
Illuminating glow through the looking glass
Wavy vision sighted from the past
Covered porch of romantic lore
Lost thoughts of either . . .

The form of a cherubic face
In this treacherous world - my host;
Triumphs over my agony with all grace.

Healthy food to eat, nice job and a beautiful house to live in.

Spotless clothes to wear, scholarly books to read,
And loving parents, . . .

New styles invade your elegant halls.
Though all around is blasting noise
One classic room devotes itself inward.

My boss to my utmost dismay,
Makes me work night and day.
I start from my dorm,
When it's not yet morn.
Down I run to my office,
In order to avoid my boss's atrophies.

Did not let it quantify her worth
From dusk to dawn to she toiled mightily
To enrich her life with steadfast vitality
No more a caring person to be found . . .

Among the trees so tall
To the heavens they seemed to reach
So to take you into their arms so strong
I looked for you in the endless hills . . .

Good morning says the peacock hen
I wish you well from now 'til when
What glorious greeting from pale blue sky
Go out, go out, now don't be shy
Go greet the waxing day so bold
Be free . . .
