University

New arrival
both young and old
out of my depth but excited,
ecstatic
all the time.

People,
lots of them
mindblowing, inspiring, advanced
achievements
full of life.

Beautiful people
especially the ladies
eyes shining,
a generous smile
and flowing hair.

All these people
are new stars
new shining lights
in my life;
those of my parents
shift to the background
guiding me.

New arrival
new experiences
lots to learn
open mind
and open soul—
feeling young and old
out of my depth
but joyful all the time.

Friends

The people you surround yourself with
are the people you become.
You are a smith,
you are the destined sum
of all their qualities and weaknesses.
Family is not something to choose:
do remember, the angels are your witnesses,
they need not search for clues.

If your friends are warm-hearted
you will be kind;
if they are, alas, narrow-minded
to beauty, you will be blind.
If they radiate with affection
you will have love to give;
Theirs is the direction
your existence you will live.
