Poetry and Verses

I enjoy reading poetry.

Another Day

Another day lies just before me

Another day in which to live;

Another day to meet the challenge

To work and pray and love-and give!

--Alice Hansche Mortenson-- 

Lend a Hand

I am only one,

But still I am one.

I cannot do everything,

But still I can do something;

And because I cannot do everything

I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

--Edward Everett Hall--

Four Things

Four things a man must learn to do

If he would make his record true:

To think without confusion clearly;

To love his fellowmen sincerely;

To act from honest motives purely;

To trust in God and Heaven securely.

--Henry Van Dyke--

Never grow a wishbone where your backbone ought to be. --Jenny Paddleford

Politeness is good nature regulated by good sense.--Henry Ward Beecher

Barefoot Days

In the morning, very early

That's the time I love to go

Barefoot where the fern grows curly

And the grass is cool between each toe,

On a summer morning-o!

On a summer morning!

That is when the birds go by

Up the sunny slopes of air,

And each rose has a butterfly

Or a golden bee to wear;

And I am glad in every toe

Such a summer morning-O!

Such a summer morning!

--Rachel Field--
