4. The soldier by Rupert Brooke
“ If I should die, think only this of
me: That there's some corner of a
foreign field That is for ever England.
There shall be In that rich earth a richer
dust concealed; A dust whom England
bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once,
her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A
body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of
home. And think, this heart, all evil shed
away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no
less Gives somewhere back the thoughts
by England given; Her sights and
sounds; dreams happy as her day; And
laughter, learnt of friends; and
gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an
English heaven. “

6. Life by John Hembree
When we all are born,
We don't have a care in this world,
Everything is provided for us,
And the world seems easy,
However, As we get older,
We begin to understand,
The values of life,
From falling in love,
For the first time,
To learning to drive,
All the way to getting a job,
And paying our own bills,
As we get older,
We learn more in life,
Whether they are mistakes or not,
And whether we like them or not,
We need to pass the knowledge,
To the younger generation,
So, If they listen to us,
They actually have been down,
The roads you have been down,
In one form or fashioned,
And have made a lot of the same
mistakes,
So, don't be afraid to talk to them,
And ask them for advice,
Cause they aren't just old and
crazy,
They could actually save your life.
