SANE
SANE
HERE IS A STORY ABOUT FOUR PEOPLE NAMED SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, NOBODY AND EVERYBODY
THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT JOB TO BE DONE AND EVERYBODY WAS SURE THAT SOMEBODY WOULD DO IT
ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE IT, BUT NOBODY DID IT
SOMEBODY GOT ANGRY ABOUT THAT IT WAS EVERYBODY'S JOB
EVERYBODY THOUGHT ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE IT, BUT NOBODY REALISED THAT EVERYBODY WOULDN'T DO IT
IT ENDED UP THAT EVERYBODY BLAMED SOMEBODY WHEN NOBODY DID WHAT ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE.
So, where do you stand?
Parting Is An Art
This Poem was reproduced by Arthur Garande SJ for the
1998 Canisius Secondary School Grade 12 Volleyballers
PARTING
It is the art for those who part
Never to start with the last part
I was with you for years so few
yet in my heart you have a big part
yes we are parting
but not in our loving
we are in fact getting more intact
we met to part
so says my heart
but we part to meet
after the great feat
don't let me down
and I won't let you frown
when we finally part
don't break my heart
Leave me with hope
that you will cope
with whatever comes
from your exams
Then we will meet to part again,
for none of us will forever remain
(Heyz I - Third Term 1990)

Love and Time
Love and Time
Once upon a time,
there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness,
Sadness,
Knowledge,
and all of the others, including Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink,
so all constructed boats and left.
Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed.
Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk,
Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat.
Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered,
"No, I can't.
There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat.
There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel.
"Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love.
You are all wet and might damage my boat,
" Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked,
"Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love,
I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too,
but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly,there was a voice,
"Come, Love, I will take you."
It was an elder.
So blessed and overjoyed,
Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.
Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge,
another elder,
"Who Helped me?"
"It was Time,"
Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love.
"But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
