Feeling for Easter
I shall do so much in the years
to come,
But what have I done today?
I shall give out gold in princely sum,
But what did 1 give today?
I shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
I shall plant a hope in the place
of fear,
I shall speak with words of love
and cheer,
But what have 1 done today?
I shall be so kind in the after while,
But what have I been today?
I shall bring to each lonely life
a smile,
But what have 1 brought today?
I shall give a truth a grander birth,
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
I shall feed the hungering souls
of earth,
But whom have I fed today?

Junior College Level

be going to Junior College level

all of the other community col

Cloud of Despair
As my problems grow bigger
my cloud of dispair grows darker.
This cloud that hangs over my head
grows larger day by day and all of the
sunshine in my life seems to just fade
away.
As I fit here all alone, all of the prob
lems of the world seem to be mine and
mine alone.
If only 1 had the power to bring
up a strong wind to blow this
cloud away, 1 could have sunshine
back in my life once again.

Have a Happy Easter!
