1. Startled by Green

I pull the mango low

So my father's camera can better catch

Its muscled ripeness

Its sunrise skin

My son, who is five, slips in beside me.

He wears a striped shirt and aims high

His model airplane

After my father dies

I find that photo in his desk, and by December light

It seems new and bold

Jane's uncanny green

Sum climbing the neighbor's wall

The boy's grin a tense

Insating he'll never go wrong

And all dur front suspended midair

2. It Might Have Been

Oleh: Ella Wheeler Wilcox

We will be what we could be. Do not say,

"It might have been, had not or that, or this."

No fate can keep us from the chosen way

He only might who is

We will do what we could do. Do not dream

Chance leaves a hero, all uncrowned to grieve

I hold, all men are greatly what they seem

He does who could achieve

We will climb where we could climb. Tell me not

Of adverse storms that kept thee from the height

What eagle ever missed the peak he sought?

He always climbs who might

I do not like the phrase, "It might have been!"

It lacks all force, and life's best truths perverts:

For I believe we have, and reach, and win

Whatever our deserts

3. Secrets

Oleh: Nicole

Do your secrets rip and roar?

Do they tear at you with open claws?

Do your secrets dig down deep?

Do the make you want to speak?

And also sometimes make you weep?

Why'd I do it in the first place when I knew it was along?

I wonder how secrets can be kept for so long?

I wish I could just turn back time,

So that everything will all be fine.

I have never felt this love I feel,

I know that this time it's finally real.

I have been the lucky one,

He'll never know the rotten things I've done,

But what will happen if my secrets finally escape?

Will I break down, or die in a lake?

Even though now there in the past,

I wonder how long my secrets will last?

4. Words Unsaid

Oleh: Melanie Dawn Batac

Regretting the moments I took for granted

Moments when I was eaten by pride and hatred

What if I had told you what I feel?

Would it change my life's wheel?

I was so afraid to fall in love deeply

For mending a broken heart will never be easy

I have been rotting in that hell before

And I don't want to be there anymore

But why is my heart crying in pain?

Why do I feel that my life's turning so plain?

Should I have told you that I love you?

Should I have showed you that it's true?

They say some words are better left unsaid

Emotions should be kept till they fade

No, scratch all the cowardice and negativity

Because saying what you feel is the real bravery

So what if you won't love me back?

At least there will be no what if's in my mind

But it's too late for me to realize this fact

'Cause now you're gone and you'll never be mine

5. My Now Angel

Oleh: Gemma Allen

These words don't come easy

But they are things that I must say

See, I don't think I ever told you

That I wished you would stay

I know it's not much use now

And that's what hurts the most

Because without you down here

My now angel, all of us are lost

I'm sure I didn't say it enough

The words "I love you," I mean

And that's my biggest regret in life

Since now you're nowhere to be seen

I really hope you hear my prayer

As I beg for your forgiveness

See, I never meant to cause you pain

And all that grief and sadness

6. A Lonely Soul

Oleh: Katyana M. Destin

I am just a lonely soul

Can anyone hear me?

Is anyone out there?

I have nowhere else to go

Escaping from all the misery

And from all the trouble that had been caused

I feel as if my life just took a sudden pause

Regretting for my regrets

Feeling that I may just don't belong

Feeling that the path I made was wrong

I ask God to forgive me for all my sins

And all the ways that I have been

Just look it from the way I see

So I am talking for anyone out there

Can anyone hear me?
