For Huw the rock


TIME IN A BOTTLE by JIM CROCE




If I could save time in a bottle,
The first thing that I’d like to do,
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you.

If I could make days last forever,
If words could make wishes come true,
I’d save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you.

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do.
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with.




If I had a box just for wishes,
And dreams that had never come true,
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do.
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with.

INVICTUS by W.E.Henley



INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.


In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloodied but unbowed.



Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

W.E. Henley
