A Poem For Alice: By Tom Horton In the morning of our lives, we view the world with hopeful eyes To be a prince, to be a king, some to wish for such a dream At noon, we learn to trust and love, of all the treasures from above Faith, hope and charity combined with friends and family In the twilight of our lives, we welcome the night with smiling eyes We know that when the night is done, our love returns with the morning sun. *This is one of the poems in the book of poems given to Alice on Christmas 1994, after Tom had passed away*

A Love Poem For Alice: (By Norm D Plume)  You can go years without realizing other people know things about you, you don't. You could walk down the street and pass yourself without knowing who it was you passed. It's hard enough to catch up with yourself and then it doesn't do you any good, because you don't know who it is, you've caught up with. The only one who really knows is the girl The girl you first danced with. Keep dancing with me, keep dancing with me girl. Don't stop. Pleae don't stop. If you do, I can't stand, I fall down, I tip over. * Norm De Plume aka Tom Horton*

Justin and Adrienne's Poem It is the hour, when from the bows, the nightengale's high note is heard It is the hour, when a lover's vow seems sweet in every whispered word Gentle winds, waters clear, makes music to the lonely ear Each flowers dew is slightly wet and in the sky the stars are meant, and on the sea a deeper blue And on the leaf a browner hue and on the heaven's are clear miscure so softly dark and darky pure Which follows the decline of the day, as twilight melts beneath the moon away *Justin recited this poem to Adrienne @ The Temple of Poseiden in Greece in 1987*

Shane's Poem To Kim ( when they re-united) How do I love thee, let me count the ways I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace, I love thee to the levels of everydays Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light I love the freely, as men strive for right I love thee purely as they turn from praise I love thee with passion put to use, in my old griefs And with my childhood's faith, I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, I love thee with the breadth, smiles, tears, of all my life And if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death *Sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning*

Poem Of Kim and Shane's Also "What Lips My Lips Have Kissed" What lips my lips have kissed And where and why I have forgotten And what arms have laid under my bed till morning But the rain is full of ghost's tonight the tap and sigh upon the glass, and listen for the reply And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain for unremembered lads that not again, will turn to me at midnight with a cry Thus in the winter stand the lonely tree, one by one Nor knows what birds have vanished, yet knows it bows more silent then before, and cannot say what  loves have come and gone I only know that someone sang in me a little while that sings in me no more.  *By Edna St Vincent Malai*

Justin and Adrienne's Beginning "HOPE" Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul and sings the tune without words and never stops at all And the sweetest in the gales is heard and sore must be in the storm that could of bashed the little bird that kept so many warm I've heard it in the chilliest land and on the strangest sea, yet never in extremity. It asked a crumb of me

Lawrence and Carly's Poem "When You're Old And Gray: When you're old and gray Take down this book And slowly read And dream of the soft look your eyes once had And of their shadows deep How many loved your moments of glad grace And loved your beauty with false but true But one man Loved the pilgrim soul in you And loved the signs of your changing face And bending down beside the glowing bars Murmur a little sadly "How love fled" *Recited by Lawrence To Carly on a stormy night*
