“Love Is Waiting”
In the autumn on the ground,
between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through
I watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories – whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love
Pondering youI’ll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell
When it’s time to walk that way we wanna walk it well
[CHORUS:]
I’ll be waiting for you baby
I’ll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til we’re ready, til it’s rightLove is waiting
It’s my caution not the cold
It’s my caution not the cold
there’s no other hand that i would rather hold
the climate changes, I’m singing for the strangers about you
don’t keep time, slow the pace
Honey hold on if you canthe bets are getting surer now that you’re my man
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE:]
I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a life
time with you and then do it all again
and like I can’t force the sun to rise or hasten summer’s start,
neither should I rush my way into your heart

To God and Ireland true
by
Ellen O’Leary (1831–89)
I SIT beside my darling’s grave,
Who in the prison died,
And though my tears fall thick and fast
I think of him with pride:
Ay, softly fall my tears like dew,
For one to God and Ireland true.
“I love my God o’er all,” he said,
“And then I love my land,
And next I love my Lily sweet,
Who pledged me her white hand:
To each—to all—I ’m ever true,
To God, to Ireland, and to you.”
No tender nurse his hard bed smooth’d
Or softly rais’d his head;
He fell asleep and woke in heaven
Ere I knew he was dead;
Yet why should I my darling rue?
He was to God and Ireland true.
Oh, ’t is a glorious memory!
I ’m prouder than a queen,
To sit beside my hero’s grave
And think on what has been;
And, O my darling, I am true
To God—to Ireland—and to you!

An old tree in my memories of my university.
A very old tree standing in the first groundof my university when entering from the side gate. Very old indeed that we can see the marks of all weathers on its strong bark and aged skin full of wrinkles all over. Source of shade for its old companions and an inspiration of stayin' strong in all circumstances to the young emotional blood. A tree which is like a mother whose shade is very lovely and lap is so comfortable.
