                                           A Collection of Poems
                          
        It’s Up to You

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.

One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.

One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.

One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.

One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what’s true,
One life can make the difference,
You see, it’s up to you!

Let Go and Let God!

When you’re troubled and worried and sick at heart
And your plans are upset and your world falls apart,
Remember God’s ready and waiting to share
The burden you find much too heavy to bear --
So with faith LET GO AND LET GOD lead the way
Into a brighter and less troubled day.

~ Helen Steiner Rice ~

 
 


Most Richly Blessed

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve,
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things,
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy,
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men,
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life,
I was given live, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for - But everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

~ Anonymous Confederate Soldier ~

 

 


Take Time

Take time to Work --
It is the price of success.

Take time to Think --
It is the source of power.

Take time to Play --
It is the secret of youth.

Take time to Read your Bible --
It is the foundation of knowledge and feeds the soul.

Take time to Worship --
It is the highway of reverence and washes the dust
of earth from our eyes.

Take time to Help and Enjoy Friends --
It is the source of happiness.

Take time to Love --
It is the one sacrament of life.

Take time to Dream --
It hitches the soul to the stars.

Take time to Laugh --
It is the singing that helps with life’s loads.

Take time to Pray --
It rids us of our excess baggage.

Take time to Plan --
It is the secret of being able to have time to take
time for the first ten things.

What Cancer Cannot Do


Cancer is so limited:

It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot rob your joy.
It cannot conquer the spirit.
It cannot stop you from loving and being loved.

~ Carol Larsen ~
 


You Never Know

You never know when someone
might catch a dream from you.
Or something you say may
open up the windows of a mind that seeks light;
The way you live may not matter at all,
But you never know, it might.
And just in case it could be
that another’s life, through you,
might possibly change for the better
with a better and brighter view,
it seems it might be worth a try at pointing
the way to the right;
Of course, it may not matter at all,
but then again, it might.
