Glad that I live am I;
That the sky is blue;
Glad for the country lanes,
And the fall of dew.

After the sun the rain;
After the rain the sun;
This is the way of life,
Till the work be done.

All that we need to do,
Be we low or high,
Is to see that we grow
Nearer the sky.

Risky Business


It's a risk to have a husband,
it's a risk to have a son;
It's a risk to pour your confidences
out to anyone;
It's a risk to pick a daisy,
for there's sure to be a cop;
It's a risk to go on living,
but a greater risk to stop.

Favorite Inspirational Poems
Barter
Poet: Sara Teasdale

Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things;
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children’s faces looking up,
Holding wonder like a cup.

Life has loveliness to sell;
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And, for the Spirit’s still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.

Give all you have for loveliness;
Buy it, and never count the cost!
For one white, singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost;
And for a breath of ecstasy,
Give all you have been, or could be.

Victory


Attempt the end,
and never stand to doubt,
Nothing's so hard but search
will find it out.
