Life Like A Rainbow Poet: Unknown There is nothing more beautiful than a rainbow But it takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow. If life is to be rounded and many-colored like the rainbow, Both joy and sorrow must come to it. Those who have never known Anything but prosperity and pleasure Become hard and shallow, But those whose prosperity Has been mixed with adversity Become kind and gracious.  It Couldn't Be Done Poet: Edgar A. Guest Somebody said it couldn't be done But he with a chuckle replied That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it! Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that; At least no one ever has done it;" But he took off his coat and he took off his hat And the first thing we knew he'd begun it. With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure, There are thousands to point out to you one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That "cannot be done," and you'll do it. Look On The Sunny Side Poet: Eldred Herbert Why do we feel discouraged when things aren't going our way? Why do we feel life is empty when shadows have darkened our day? God is still in His Heaven, He still watches o'er us with love, We have only to accept His vast blessing, given freely from above. Why do we look on the dark side, instead of finding the light? Why do we complain when it's raining and never a word when it's bright? We never give thanks when things go smooth, and the pathway is clear, It's as easy to smile as it is to frown, and grief's are lighter to bear. Let us make it a rule to be cheerful, all day long with a song, Let us praise our God, for putting up with us for ever so long; He is patient and kind, none like Him can we find, Let's give praise to His name, and put old Satan behind.  You Have Today Poet: Catherine Pulsifer ©2017 Yesterday is gone No since trying to get it back What has been done is done No since lamenting over it You cannot change the things done. Tomorrow may never come No matter what your age There are no guarantees you will see it None of us knows what our future holds Don't live today waiting for tomorrow. Today is a guarantee, you are living it Make the most of it Focus on solution to your problems Find the good in the day You have today! A Kindly Little Deed Poet: Unknown I did a favor yesterday, a kindly little deed. Then I called all to the world to stop and look and heed. They stopped and looked and flattered me in words I could not trust. And when the world had gone away, my good deed turned to dust. A very tiny courtesy I found to do today. Twas quickly done with none to see, and then I ran away. For someone must have witnessed it, For - truly, I declare - As I sped back the stony path, Roses were blooming there!  Hours of Regret Poet: Unknown If we fill our hours with regrets over the failures of yesterday, and with worries over the problems of tomorrow, we have no today in which to be thankful. Improvement Poet: Edgar A Guest The joy of life is living it, or so it seems to me; In finding shackles on your wrists, then struggling till you're free; In seeing wrongs and righting them, in dreaming splendid dreams, Then toiling till the vision is as real as moving streams. The happiest mortal on the earth is he who ends his day By leaving better than he found to bloom along the way. Were all things perfect here there would be naught for man to do; If what is old were good enough we'd never need the new. The only happy time of rest is that which follows strife And sees some contribution made unto the joy of life. And he who has oppression felt and conquered it is he Who really knows the happiness and peace of being free. The miseries of earth are here and with them all must cope. Who seeks for joy, through hedges thick of care and pain must grope. Through disappointment man must go to value pleasure's thrill; To really know the joy of health a man must first be ill. The wrongs are here for man to right, and happiness is had By striving to supplant with good the evil and the bad. The joy of life is living it and doing things of worth, In making bright and fruitful all the barren spots of earth. In facing odds and mastering them and rising from defeat, And making true what once was false, and what was bitter, sweet. For only he knows perfect joy whose little bit of soil Is richer ground than what it was when he began to toil. |
