DON"T QUIT
DON'T QUIT
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, AS THEY SOMETIMES WILL,
WHEN THE ROAD YOU'RE TRUDGING SEEMS ALL UPHILL,
WHEN THE FUNDS ARE LOW AND THE DEBTS ARE HIGH,
AND YOU WANT TO SMILE, BUT YOU HAVE TO SIGH,
WHEN CARE IS PRESSING YOU DOWN A BIT,
REST IF YOU MUST-BUT DON"T YOU QUIT
LIFE IS QUEER WITH IT'S TWISTS AND TURNS,
AS EVERY ONE OF US SOMETIMES LEARNS,
AND MANY A FAILURE TURNS ABOUT
WHEN THE MIGHT HAVE WON HAD STUCK IT OUT;
DON'T GIVE UP,THOUGH THE PACE SEEMS SLOW-
YOU MIGHT SUCCEED WITH ANOTHER BLOW.
OFTEN THE GOAL IS NEARER THAN
IT SEEMS TO A FAINT AND FALTERING MAN,
OFTEN THE SNUGGLER HAS GIVEN UP
WHEN HE MGHT HAVE CAPTURED THE VICTOR'S CUP.
AND HE LEARNED TOO LATE.WHEN THE NIGHT SLIPPED
DOWN,
HOW CLOSE HE WAS TO THE GOLDEN CROWN.
SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT-
THE SILVER TINT OF THE CLOUDS OF DOUBT-
AND YOU CAN NEVER TELL HOW CLOSE YOU ARE
IT MAY BE NEAR WHEN IT SEEMS AFAR;
SO STICK TO THE FIGHT WHEN YOU'RE HARDEST HIT-
IT'S WHEN THINGS GO WORST THAT YOU MUSTN'T
QUIT.

CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH CRITICISM,
HE LEARNS TO CONDEMN.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH HOSTTILITY,
HE LEARNS TO FIGHT.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH RIDICULE,
HE LEARNS TO BE SHY.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH SHAME,
HE LEARNS TO FEEL GUILTY.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH TOLERANCE
HE LEARNS TO BE PATIENT.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH ENCOURAGEMENT,
HE LEARNS CONFIDENCE.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH PRAISE,HE LEARNS TO
APPRECIATE.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH FAIRNESS,
HE LEARNS JUSTICE.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH SECURITY,
HE LEARNS TO HAVE FAITH.
IF A CHILD LIVES WITH ACCEPTANCE AND FRIENDSHIP
HE LEARNS TO FIND LOVE IN THE WORLD.

See each morning a world made a new,
as if it were the morning of the very first
day...
treasure it and use it. as if it were the final
hour of the last hour of the very last day.

HOW GOD MADE LITTLE GIRLS
A speck of frills with a pinch of pink.
a touch of lace and a dainty wink
he mixed these in with a love for dance.
And heaps of laughter, some beauty perchance.
he added oodles more of joy and grace,
then he put some dimples in just the right place.
As a final ouch he included a curl.
and with that he smiled, for he'd created a
girl.
