Hope |
|
|
|
So frail a thing-and yet how strong! |
|
|
|
So heartening when things go wrong! |
|
|
In fear and darkenss we may grope |
|
|
|
But how it clears when we find Hope! |
|
|
|
It’s always there, a cheerful friend, |
|
|
|
Prepared its courage vast to lend |
|
|
|
To those who feel they cannot win. |
|
|
|
To find it merely raise your chin. |
|
|
|
Just look aloft and from the skies |
|
|
|
As if it came from God’s own eyes, |
|
|
|
You’ll gather strength with life to cope. |
|
|
|
You’ll taste the poor man’s nectar-Hope! |
|
|
|
Success and failure are not real. |
|
|
|
Hope for the things that life can’t steal! |

Value Every Day |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A day without love is a cold,cold day |
|
|
|
When worldly riches fade away. |
|
|
|
A day without hope is a dreary day |
|
|
|
Filled with shadows of dismay. |
|
|
|
A day without faith is a fruitless day |
|
|
|
As we trudge along life’s way. |
|
|
|
A day without friends is a lonely day |
|
|
|
Without a cheery word to say. |
|
|
|
Embracing faith,hope and love |
|
|
|
Assures sweet blessings from above. |

"To be loved is to know happiness and contentment, |
|
|
|
To give love is to know the joy of sharing oneself… |
|
|
|
For it is through the miracle of love that we discover the fullness of life." |
|
|
|
-Robin St. John |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Love is giving someone |
|
|
|
A portion of your heart… |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Love is thinking of them |
|
|
|
|
|
Though you’re close or far apart… |
|
|
|
Love is caring when they’re glad |
|
|
|
And caring when they’re blue… |
|
|
Love is sharing good and bad |
|
|
|
As though it’s part of you… |
|
|
Love is finding happiness |
|
|
|
In just a touch or smile… |
|
|
|
Love is everything that counts |
|
|
|
It’s what makes life worthwhile!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"When love is deep, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sometimes we feel |
|
|
|
|
|
There is no need for words, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
That even in the silences, |
|
|
|
Somehow our love is heard. |
|
|
|
Sometimes there’s much more |
|
|
|
in our hearts |
|
|
|
Than words can ever say- |
|
|
|
That’s when we count |
|
|
|
on those we love |
|
|
|
To understand some way." |

Look to This Day |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look to this day, for it is life, |
|
|
|
|
|
The very life of life. |
|
|
|
|
|
In its brief course lies all |
|
|
|
The realities and verities of existence, |
|
|
|
The bliss of growth, |
|
|
|
The splendor of action, |
|
|
|
The glory of power- |
|
|
|
For yesterday is but a dream |
|
|
|
And tomorrow is only a vision. |
|
|
|
But today, well lived, |
|
|
|
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness |
|
|
|
And every tomorrow a vision of hope. |
|
|
|
Look well, therefore, to this day. |
|
