To my family for their love and support,
To my friends for their support and rapport,

To my fellow students for challenging me,
To my graceful teachers for educating me.

To the Student Life and the SGA for the experiences,
To the Leadership Academy for the opportunities.

To all my admirers for their love,
And the less admirable for being a [...]

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
But you are twice as true.

Tinker Bell was bounteous,
Cinderella was beauteous,
And you are twice as gracious.

The sun is a healing sight,
And the moon a refreshing light,
But your smile shines thrice as bright.

Good captains blink,
When Titanics sink,
But my love for you will never shrink.

As seasons get warmer,
And snows make it colder,
You always [...]

Stony eyes shall cease to be barren,
Oh lofty fence of ancestral glory,
Knowing no bounds or kinly boundary.

Those huts of honor and goodness,
Embodiments of milk of human kindness,

Is full of joy to see a cherished man.

A perfect mirror of his sonly features,
The album of [...]

“Where hidest thou the [...]

A place of picnic for the busy bees,
“Give me drink” , I said
To soothe my thirst.

For generations all come and gone,
For passions all discarded or done,
Till tan off-springs are born,
Brotherhood shall be preached and inhumanity torn.

Till the stars could shine leaving no shadows,
But a glittering picture of one man, one voice,
Till poison-less are the serpents and comforting the fellows,
Till a tan kid is kissed on both cheeks and [...]

I heard of your passing away yesterday,
And following the route to the Last Day,
When I heard the news on my phone’s earpiece,
I was no more like myself or anything nearer.
I spent the day remembering your being,
I spent the hours bringing myself back to reality,
Because I just got news of the Inevitable,
The passing away of one [...]
