| The Mystery of the Sea Why are there waves? Why do the waves crash onto the shore? Why does the sea make a noise? Why does it have so many mystery creatures? Why does it leave so much of a mess of sea weed on the shore? Why a mystery I'll never know.

| My Past Who was she? Was she beautiful or ugly? Was she normal or different? Was she popular or did she have no friends at all? Was she teased for her name? It was an unusual name. So different that anyone now would be teased. But maybe it was different back then. I'm sorry she's gone. Princessa Violeta. My great grand mother

| My Girl Why why did my girl go away? Her hair like a falling river of gold. Her face is as sweet as a flower Why did my girl go from me? Her eyes like a beauitfull lake. Why did they take her from me?
