HISTORY
WILL CARVE A MONUMENT
TO YOUR SUCCESS.
I HOPE IT STANDS
THE TEST OF TIME.
NOT A IMPRINT
JUST IN SAND.
REMEMBER
YOUR FOOTPRINTS
THEY ARE YOUR STEPS
TO GREATNESS;.
OR CAN LEAD TO A FALL.

HISTORY'S LOOK
You know how it is
Each Day
You Dress up for Today
History is this way too
It Changes its Dress
By what you do
Best you do it well
If you want History
To Reflect!
The Best of you....

HISTORY?
I may interrupt!
have
I brought on change?
The force that I have
Must only be for good
The change that I make
Must keep on going forth
The change that is good
Will allow me
to see where I am going
The only change
that is backwards
Is the one
that keeps me down
The only wisdom of it all
Is to see what is forward
For
if I go on back,
I am forced
to change the good
For
if I go forward
At least
I can change what is wrong
The time
to reach understanding
Is now
when we are here
The time
for understanding
Is before
we end in war
The time for change
Is before
the light is dwindling
The time for peace is always.
A Poeatreeman
History does not repeat itself
For is it not man who makes history?
Is it not man who chooses war?
Is it not peace that has understanding?
Is it not man's will to make the choices?
Is it not man who needs understanding?
Is it not wisdom that shows we can?
Dedicated to My Country
For I am not here to make history
Yet ! I am not here standing
to see it all fall away
