    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

    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 all…

    Lesson in this Poem for me:

    To The Quitter

    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 world spends little time;
    And the few ever care that you’ve not
    The courage or patience to climb.

    Rest

    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 they are not few,
    That the dear lord daily just bestows on you.

    Hold Fast Your Dreams

    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.

    Build a Box of Friendship

    Into a box of friendship
    To insure that it is strong
    First a layer of respect
    On the bottom does belong.

    Then to the side attach
    In the corners where they meet
    Several anchors full of trust
    Devoid of all deceit.

    The height of friendship can be
    Measured by the sides of four
    So make them all a larger cut
    And the box will hold much more

    Now fill it up with courtesy
    Honor and esteem
    Understanding, sympathy
    And passion for a dream

    Fortitude

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
    Weep and you weep alone.
    For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
    But has trouble enough of its own.
    Sing and the hills will answer;
    Sight it is lost on the air.
    The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
    But shrink from voicing care.

    Rejoice and men will seek you;
    Grieve and they turn and go.
    They want full measure of all your pleasure,
    But they do not need your woe.
    Be glad and your friends are many;
    Be sad and you lose them all.
    There are none to decline your nectar wine,
    But alone you must drink life’s gall.

    Forgiveness is Sweet

    It was so hard to forgive
    Those who hurt and did me wrong,
    The one who lied and those who tries
    To snuff out my victor’s song

    I took the shame and sorrow
    They heaped upon my soul,
    I bent and broke in pieces
    No longer strong and whole.

    My self esteem was zero,
    I felt worthless, stained with dirt,
    I bowed beneath the burden
    Unsure, defamed, and hurt.

    But then I met the savior,
    And saw the way he came
    To man king meek and lowly,
    Shaped of a different frame

    ENDURING THE STORMS OF LIFE

    Sometimes it’s hard to take
    The bitter with the sweet
    To face the raging storms of life
    And not give up in defeat.

    Sometimes we rely on worldly things
    To help us reach our goals
    We build our hopes upon the sand
    And the storms beat on our souls.

    But if we put our trust in God
    We’re building on His rock
    And all the storms of life can’t harm
    Anyone who’s in His flock.

    We will endure the storms of life
    With faith and trust in His love.
    For He will set His lighthouse
    To guide us from above

    Then whatsoever challenges we face
    Whatever be our plight
    He will guide us safely home
    If we only follow in His light.

    DON’T EVER STOP DREAMING YOUR DREAMS

    Don’t ever be reluctant to show your feelings
    When you’re happy, give in to it.
    When you’re not, live with it.

    Don’t ever be afraid to try to make things better,
    You might be surprised at the results.

    Don’t ever take the weight of the world on you shoulders.
    Don’t ever feel threatened by the future;
    Take life one day at a time.

    Don’t ever feel guilty about the past;
    What’s done is done.
    Learn from mistakes you might have made.
