    Here's To The Woman...
    Here's to the woman
    I have found, I have lost
    No matter what's been said
    Some borders can't be crossed

    That is what she taught me
    Though I tried not to learn
    I don't see invisible lines
    Only life on earth

    But here's to the woman
    I have found, I have lost
    May the stars align for you
    At not too great a cost

    Though I won't forget you
    I sense that you will fly
    Actions speak a thousand words
    You're telling me, 'Goodbye'

    So, here's to the woman
    The one who caught my eye
    Here's to the memories
    I'll hold until I die

    May the stars align for you
    At not too great a cost
    Here's to the woman
    I have found
    I have
    lost

    I dated this girl from Mexico for a short while. Everytime we would be out and come across some Mexican guys they would give me/us dirty looks. Even the ones who were with white girls! I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now. It didn't bother me as much as it did her. I still hope the best for her. She was a sweet girl, and it was fun while it lasted.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
