God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you, to go through it, not without pain, but without stain. ~ C. S. Lewis
A Solitary Soul
I’m a solitary soul, without love at my side, A life alone, with just myself to keep. I’ve no hand to hold, no man in whom to confide, No comfort in the night, no kiss upon my cheek.
Plenty by Emily Romrell
Plenty is abundance in life,
Personal growth underway,
Happiness that no knife,
Can cut or strip away.
If you look it’s waiting for you,
Every single day.
Pick Up Your Pen And Write
If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write. ~ Martin Luther
Sunflowers
All flowers are happy in their way,
But dear Helianthus you win the day.
Every aspect of your nature is sunny.
Even your face tracks its eponym across the sky.
Along The Road by Robert Browning Hamilton
I walked a mile with Pleasure; She chatted all the way; But left me none the wiser For all she had to say.
Fail In Originality
It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ~ Herman Melville
The Tide Will Turn
When you get into a tight place & everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place & time when the tide will turn.
My Eulogy
I think Tom Sawyer had it right. It’s a gift to hear and see what others think Before you adventure past the brink Before you leave this world behind What legacy is left in others’ minds?
The Golden Moments
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. ~ George Eliot
