Growing Older

Written by dingdans on October 5th, 2008

A little more tired at the closed of day,
A little less anxious to have our way,
A little less ready to scold and blame,
A little more care for a brother’s name;
And so we are nearing the journey’s end,
Where time and eternity meet and bland.
A little less care fore bonds and gold,
A little more zeal for the [...]

Recipe for Living

Written by dingdans on July 22nd, 2008

Some things a man surely know,
If he is going to live or grow;
He needs to know that life is more
Than a man lays by in store,
That more than all he may obtain,
Contentment offers greater gain.
He needs to feel the trail of mirth,
To sense the beauty of the earth,
To know the joy that kindness brings
And all [...]

Insight

Written by dingdans on June 12th, 2008

Often when it seemed I found
Goodness here, there, all around,
I saw on closer scrutiny,
The goodness came from inside me.
Why did the whole world seem to smile?
Because I laughed with is awhile,
Why was all earth so bright with sun?
Because my light heart gave it one.

You will never be SORRY

Written by dingdans on June 9th, 2008

For thinking before acting…
For hearing before judging…
For forgiving your enemies…
For being candid and frank…
For helping a fallen brother…
For being honest in business…
For thinking before speaking…
For being loyal to your church…
For standing by your principles…
For closing your ears to gossip…
For bridling a slanderous tongue…
For harboring pure thoughts…
For sympathizing with the afflicted…
For being courteous and kind to [...]

To The Quitter

Written by dingdans on May 22nd, 2008

The world won’t care if you quit
And the world won’t whine if you fail;
The busy world won’t not notice it,
No matter how loudly you wail.
Nobody will worry that you
Have relinquished the fight and gone down
For it’s only the things that you do
That are worth while and get you renown
The quitters are quickly forgotten;
Of them the [...]

Rest

Written by dingdans on May 22nd, 2008

Are you very weary?
In some quiet corner, fold your hand and sit.
Do not let the trials that have grieved you all the day
Haunt this quiet corner; drive them all way!
Let your heart grow empty of every though unkind
That peace may hover round you, and joy may fill your mind.
Count up all your blessings, I’m sure [...]

Hold Fast Your Dreams

Written by dingdans on April 17th, 2008

Within your heart
Keep one still, secret spot
Where drams may go,
And sheltered so,
May thrive and grow-
Where doubt and fear are not.
Oh, they keep a place apart
Within your heart,
For little dreams to go.
