A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of
wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed
vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even
lost before we reach adulthood. ~Rachel Carson
Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights,
before the dark hour of reason grows. ~John Betjeman, Summoned by Bells

children teach us what life is all about - Angela Schwindth

Believe in Yourself
by Jillian K. Hunt
Set your standards high
You deserve the best
Try for what you want
And never settle for less.
Believe in yourself
No matter what you choose.
Keep a winning attitude
And you can never lose.
Think about your destination
But don't worry if you stray
Because the most important thing
Is what you've learned along the way.
Take all that you've become
To be all that you can be.
Soar above the clouds
And let your dreams set you free.
The poem was taken from Chicken Soup for the Kid's soul. |
