The Tyger William Blake

Tyger! tyger! burning bright In the forest of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the ﬁre of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the ﬁre? And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when they heart began to beat, What dread hand? and what dread feet?

The Comet by Katherine Chung

Comet! comet! rainbow stone With every colorful tone, Where in the universe Did this rock come from? Is this a terrifying curse From the Heavens above? Will there be more shooting stars? Was it sent from the planet Mars? What is this beautiful, wondrous thing That shines and glows like a diamond ring? It is so incredible, strange, and glittery, Is is a dream? or is it a mystery?

Sorry But I'm Leaving

by Katherine Chung

I know I have to try because I know I can do it I can’t just say “Good Bye” when this is my only chance Before I didn’t know one bit about my future But now I have to admit that I now know my destiny. I’m sorry mom but I have to say:

I’m leaving you and I’m sad But I have to go through and I hope it’s not bad as long as I am happy Yeah, I’ll miss you, too.

So you just have to keep on believing because I’m sorry but I’m leaving

This superstar status makes me busy all day and those letters from adoring fans Remind me that I should pray I don’t want to mess up my act Because let my tell you a fact I promised my mom to make her proud I told her:

I’ll see you in the spring And in my full glory I’ll love to hear your voice ring And I’ll look at the stars with you But I have to depart while you’re grieving Sorry but I’m leaving

I often find myself wishing for a normal life Getting to be united with my mom I don’t know how to deal with this But sometimes I feel so lonely seeing my mom cry, but all I can say is Sorry but I’m leaving

Sorry but I’m leaving

Don’t Forget to Remember Me

by Carrie Underwood

18 years had come and gone For momma they flew by But for me they drug on and on We were loading up that Chevy Both tryin' not to cry Momma kept on talking Putting off good-bye Then she took my hand and said "Baby don't forget:

Before you hit the highway You better stop for gas And there's a 50 in the ashtray In case you run short on cash Here's a map and here's a Bible If you ever lose your way

Just one more thing before you leave Don't forget to remember me"

This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home and those bills there on the counter Keep telling me I'm on my own And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night And even when it's not, I tell her everything's all right Before we hung up I said "Hey momma, don't forget:

to tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall And tell me-maw that I miss her Yeah, I should give her a call And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be Don't forget to remember me"

Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray I haven't done this in a while So I don't know what to say but Lord, I feel so small sometimes in this big ol' place Yeah, I know theres more important things, but Don't forget to remember me

Don't forget to remember me
