One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if possible, speak a few reasonable words. A day is lost if one has not laughed.

STEADFAST HEART - A MUST READ POEM


"You may forget with whom you laughed,
but you will never forget with whom you wept".






STEADFAST HEART

~Author Unknown

I’ve dreamed many dreams that never came true
I’ve seen them vanish at dawn,
But I’ve realized enough of my dreams,
Thank God,
To make me want to dream on.


I’ve prayed many prayers when no answer came
Though I waited patient and long,
But answers have come to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.


I’ve trusted many a friend that failed
And left me to weep alone,
But I’ve found enough of my friends true blue,
To make me keep trusting on.


I’ve sown many seeds that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I’ve held enough golden sheaves in my hand
To make me keep sowing on.


I’ve drained the cup of disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I’ve sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.
