Shine Down Upon Me

By: Genevieve (Genna) Melanson



There are so many stars in the sky tonight.

Shimming and shining a moon showing off its luminous light.

Pulling up the covers around me ever so tight.

Thinking about you, and what you bought into my life!

Since the day that you have passed away, my days have been so gray!

There’s been many moments in my life that I wished that you had stayed.

I would have given anything to hear your voice.

Not the joking and yelling part of course.

Just to hear from you, when you are looking down upon me from heaven.

Don’t you know that you were my haven?

Someone that I come to when I was lost.

I didn’t know when you were gone I would have such a highly cost.

You have been there with me throughout my life.

Could you please shine down upon me tonight?

 Show me your light, show me the way.

Shows me the real reason why want to stay!

Please give me the faith, before all the memories of you hade away.

 Give me a sign of yours in those starry lines.

To show strength to me that even beyond heaven we have those tries.

Let me know that God is not lie!

Could you please shine down upon me tonight?

My fallen angel, the darkness that could bring me to the tunnel of light.

Reach down your hand and kiss me good night.

Could you please shine down upon me tonight?



Who Knew?

By: Genevieve (Genna) Melanson



Who knew that life could be so complicated!

How could circumstances be the way they are?

For one thing jumping to the next.

I am trying to figure out what’s best.

Putting my past to rest!

Who knew that one day I’ll be looking back.

Reflecting on how many memories I have.

And it seems funny, time could seem so far away.

Once upon these days.

Who knows what this life is anway?

What’s it to you and me?

Who’s is it to anyone?

Who are we supposed to be?

If I only knew what I knew now?

I would be a different me!

Sometimes when I cry, I wish I could lend you my tears

If only I could borrow your smile for awhile!

Wishing that our happiness could never go out of style.

Nothing seems to stay the same.

Sometimes I want  to run away.

I want to run away to a place where I feel safe.

Who knew of how much love one’s family could make?

Who knew you were right behind me catching my every mistake!

Sitting on the edege of the lake,wondering of how many dreams we could make!

If only I knew what I knew today?

I would have told you I love you, but who knew anyway!

On Wicker Park (posted by Jeni Thompson)

Do you remember Wicker Park? We sat there watching in the dark,
Holding hands and drinking wine,
Tooth for tooth and eye for eye.
We sat there naked in the dark.
Do you remember......remember, Marc?
These small things, the pangs we thought
Were bought in full and fully bought...
You lost yourself and I lost mine,
Tooth for tooth and eye for eye.
We lay there moving in the dark
On the fringe of Wicker Park.
...And time it passed like storm clouds move
Washing everything anew.
Your onyx eyes still like the dark
Reminding me of Wicker Park.

Vanguard loves the warmth and welcomes the joy we all share and cannot explain the incredible feeling to have so many on board. Vanguard is going places if we continue to  press in this positive direction. GO VANGUARD!!!!!

Why
By: Genna Melanson

You ever wonder why the sky is blue?
Why do bees like to buzz, why do birds like to sing?
O’ how many answers could these two questions bring?
Why does spring follow summer?
Why do leaves turn brown in the winter?
Why are we the way we are?
Why does the night sky have stars?
Why is it that we know what happens and how!
But why?
There must be a reason for everyone and everything.
I don’t know, do you?
So many questions without explanations.
Then if I don’t know and you don’t know, who else knows what up.
There must be a reason why we even exist!

Stand Up and Change the World
By: Genna Melanson
Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
I am staring straight ahead looking at their faces, bringing myself to think who are they really? Most importantly what do these people expect from me?
Do these people expect me to get good grades?
Do these people expect me just to stay out of their way?
Oh is this just another huge mistake, to think things could ever change?

Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
Time seems to stay still, even though time seems to keep on going.
Your outside stays the same, however your inside keeps on forming.
Watching your reflection in the mirror staring back at you.
Feeling like you don’t have clue on what to do.

Walk into a whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
You want to change the world, but you just don’t how, sometimes you just want to scream.
But instead you stand up and say, ooh, ohh no way, ohh, ohh no way!
I am going to be strong today, and chase those shadows away.
Because I have a right to stay, and no one has the right to change your mind.
You’re going to prove myself and to your no-sayers in your own time.

Walk into whole new world now, time to put my guard down.
People coming and going, trying to stay busy, finding your way can sure make you feel dizzy.
But you.. you can say.. say ohh no way, no way! Stand up, stand up and say..
I am going to be strong today, and chase those shadows away.
And prove to you I am going to change this world someday.


In the Eyes of a Journey
By: Genna Melanson

Once a upon a day you came into this world as a baby.
Where your life consist of 1,2,3 and ABC’s.
Your journey is just beginning.
You must learn to crawl before you can walk.
You must learn to stand before you fall.
So when you fall just get right back up.

Trust yourself to the first steps, because those first steps can show you that you are strong.
Believe in yourself because this is the journey the gluided path you are supoosed to be on.

You must walk before you can run.
The people that love you can give you the strength, when all hope is lost.
When you take risks you take a leap, into whatever dreams you might see.

Take a hold of the ruins and don’t you let go.
You must learn to run before you take flight.
Show this world that you’re someone worth watching out far.
Trust your instances, the lessons that people have given you.

Trust yourself to the first steps, because those first steps can show you that you are strong.
Believe in yourself because this is the journey the guided path you are supposed to be on.

Always show people that you love them, try to tell them every signal day.
Pay it forward, show them the way.
Gluide those on their journey as so many people did for you.
Tell them that there is a path just waiting for you.

When you come to the end of your life, may there still be nothing you hold back.
May there always be a handprint/footprint over those who you shown their way.

May your journey always continue on when you pass away.

Success

The people that have faith in us will reap the benefits in longevity............It is wonderful to have so many people optimistic in the success of Vanguard. As the week bears down all of the members and others extended, can clearly see the forward motion and dedication of the club we like to call Vanguard. Thank you to all for amazing efforts and continue pushing harder........ GO VANGUARD!!!!!

New Work - Michael Storms

Never So Beautiful

Milk Chocolate has never been so beautiful.

You look back at me with all your love
When you’re wet, I die inside
A Van Gogh has nothing on you.

You melt me with a slight glance
When you’re broken, I am broken too
A Monet could never compare to you.

You move me without a touch
When you’re frozen, you’re even sexier
A Renoir will never come close to you.

Milk Chocolate… you are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.
