Don’t Quit 5 Minutes Before the Miracle Happens
When things go wrong as they sometimes will.
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
When the funds are low, and debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest if you must, but Dont You Quit.
Life is queer with it’s twists and turns.
As everyone […]
The World Is Mine
Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair
I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and used a crutch
But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine
I have 2 […]
Strength of a Man & Beauty of a Woman
The strength of a man isn’t in the deep tone of his voice.
It is in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man isn’t how many buddies he has.
It is how good a buddy he is with his kids.
The strength of a man isn’t in how respected he is at work.
It is in how […]
The Family
I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
“Oh excuse me please” was my reply.
He said, “Please excuse me too;
I wasn’t watching for you.”
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that […]
To My Child
Just for this morning, I am going to
smile when I see your face and laugh
when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you
choose what you want to wear,
and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step
over the laundry and pick you up and take you […]
The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long as I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth,
Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim;
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for […]
Love Will Find Out the Way
Over the mountains
…And under the waves,
Over the fountains
…And under the graves,
Over floods which are the deepest
…Which do Neptune obey,
Over rocks which are steepest,
…Love will find out the way.
Where there is no place
…For the glow-worm to lie;
Where there is no space
For receipt of a fly;
Where the gnat she dares not venter,
…Lest herself fast she lay;
But if […]
